1974 620 Pickup @ Vancouver PicknPull
Posted: Sat Sep 14, 2013 10:05 am
My headlight assembly in my Dakota had a melt down problem so I headed to the Vancouver PicknPull this morning (Sat. 9/14) to get the one off the rig they had listed in their inventory (a piece of cake removal! No tools necessary except a phillips head screwdriver to remove the grill bezel). The Dakota was in row 27, BUT in Row #1 was a black (formerly blue) 620! According to their records it was put in the yard on 9/11/13.
#1-The body was pretty straight, except for the wheel wells inside the bed were mashed down a bit.
#2-The dash was there, but already disassembled. The only thing left was the dash light adjuster and the cigarette lighter (thrown behind the seat).
#3-The seat was covered in the standard black and white tweed aftermarket seat cover.
#4-The hood stand was missing, and I suspect that might be the reason that nothing under the hood was missing yet.
#5-It's a 4 speed.
#6-Door locks and ignition are gone.
#7-Door cards are damaged by the bonehead who took the door locks (folded and broken). Door handles, inside and out are present as well as the window regulators and handles.
#8-Glass on the doors are good, rear window is good but I fail to remember windshield condition, my apologies.
#9-Antenna has been modified from original and the doggone phillips head to remove it for inspection was rusted and rounded off.
#10-Ash tray is in the bed.
#11-Steel wheels and the tires are there.
#12-Brake drums in the front haven't been removed yet.
#13-Tail lights are there, lenses looked to be in good condition. Side markers in the front of the truck, as well as the turn signal lenses were looking good. However, the side markers on the bed looked to be spray painted.
#14-Tailgate is there and looked to be in very good condition.
#15-It has a steel cage mounted in the bed, it raises the bed side up to about eye level, but is mesh, and I must say, very well constructed.
#16-Front bumper looks great!
#17-Rear Dock bumper looks stout!
#18-Window wiper arms are still present
#19-Grill, with a faded nameplate, is in remarkably good condition.
#20-Fusebox is still present, but the faceplate isn't anywhere to be found.
----------------
#21-Sorry guys, I took the door lock knobs. (Mine almost looked corroded!
)
After looking at this thing. . . I believe, it probably would have run and driven to the yard of its demise. . . And that, to me is a sad thing! I'll field any questions to the best of my knowledge.
