2 days of junkyard finds

[Deleted]

Ran across a very ruff 72 Satellite 2 door last Sunday and a 72 Polara Wagon.......a 72 Coronet 4 door today. Picked a few goodies. 2 antennas-1 has bent mast, rear defogger set-up-complete except the long wire, big block valve covers, rear ash trays, power window switches, very nice looking heat/ac controller, green a pillar trims and sunvisors, fader switch and maplight panel, wiper arms, hood release cable and handle, spare tire bolt and wing nut, wiper motor, good looking AM radio with knobs, steering wheel center piece with DODGE lettering. Also picked up headlight switch and fan speed resistor wiring plugs to repair some damaged harnesses I have. Also pulled the drip rail moldings off the 72 Sat, they are mint. Probably should have spent more time on the Coronet.....getting disc brakes and door hinges, but I had a 3 hour drive home and was in a hurry.

Here is a few pics of what I`ve managed to find recently

Tom... I know is a little bit harder and some extra job, but, I'll never undesrtand why cut a harness instead get it complete

or simply remove terminals and get just the plastic isolators

Thats easy Nacho. The non Rallye Amp gauge and harness in the Coronet were burnt and crispy. Since I have a Rallye with hideaways harness that has a burnt up resistor plug, it just made sense to clip off the plug.
If the cluster and harness were good, I would have simply rolled the entire dash out as 1 piece and bought the whole thing. The other reason.... if I got the whole harness, they would charge me $11. Getting the snipped off plugs with wiring was Free. On the P/W plugs....those were off a Polara. No market for selling the complete harness..... I do tend to get good $$$ for the plug ends though.
