Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

My crew went to replace a glass unit on the 23rd floor of this tower today ( see the hole in the building up there) but the swing stage wasn’t right so we went home. And so I figured it was a good day for the junkyard to look for missing fender bolts and door bumpers. Scored what I needed for $3. About 20 bolts and extra bumpers. Nice.

Nice score mark, wish i had a yard around here, well, a you pull it yard, they are all computerized and you’re not allowed in yard anymore due to insurance because some tool got hurt and sued. Last one here i was allowed to walk around in stopped back in 01-02 shortly after i did a cab swap on my old ‘83 dodge w250 pickup. Anyway, nice $3 score

Yeah, but when I asked them if they had any 07-14 Chevy trucks the dude said no way, it was too new and if they did get one in it would be stripped immediately. I told him an older truck would prolly have the same parts so he said if I wanted to pay the $2 yard entry fee I could go look. I found a few OBS Burbs so that’s where the parts came from. But it was pretty bleak in there. Not much in the way of GM stuff at all. There’s wrecking yards around with newer stuff but you can’t pull your own. He charged me $1 for the actual parts when I came out.

It's great to be on first name terms with the guys at the salvage yard. Ever since I sold my S10, XJ and WJ, I really have no reason to go visit my local U-Pull-It. Lots of fun times, there. It's worth the $2 just to browse to see if a vehicle has something cool that I can retrofit to my Tahoe (which I haven't done yet).

I LOVE junkyards. I always found good stuff.

That’s the I-405 Fremont bridge in Portland.

It’s been awhile since it was together. Ready for paint. I had to cut some supports in the front fenders in order to bring the bottom edges out so they were flush with the headlights and re-weld them at the correct distance out. Done.
