Junk yard parts

[yesterday: 3.4 miles]

On my lunch break yesterday I drove into town and visited the junkyard.  This place is sort of a u-pick-it type of operation.  I was looking for an air filter box for the ’94 Ford pickup.

I did find a Bronco and two F-150s of the same body style of my truck.  They may have been +/- a year or two.  I found the air filter box.  I also got some heater control knobs, a jack and jack-tool, a vent director thingy, and a spare tire.  I realized this morning that I don’t have a lug wrench so I will have to look for that on my next trip.

I was up early this morning and got everything installed.  Everything fit just fine.

The tire and rim were a bit pricey, I thought.  But everything else was very reasonable.

I have ordered a passenger-side door handle, headlights, tailgate handle, and some other stuff from rockauto.com.  That should arrive either today or Monday.  It will give me something to do over the weekend!
