BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

[91W350]

We do not have any rings, you can come pull everything else out of one for 100 dollars. The cab reinforcements, back plate, top rail, stands, whatever you can pull.

Glenn, we just made it home. Thanks for the hospitality and the parts!

We spent about 6 hours in the lot on a very sunny and hot Kansas day. I never knew it was so much work pulling parts. Glenn still has some A2's with lots of goodies on them. And lots of other M923 A0 / A1's with good parts. I did forget some things, and lost one of my buddies socket set somewhere in the mix. If someone finds a Craftsman set on a "tree" let me know, I want to get them back to the owner. LOTS of tires, so I scored another spare. PCB (we tested them out on our M934A2 we just picked up from TX), cargo seats, a passenger seat and some lights. Very good trip to the salvage yard. As soon as we left we kept thinking of things we could have gotten, so we'll need to make the trek out from Denver again. Glenn is a very cool dude, just watch out for your parts if the male white dog is around. He got my fuel cap! I got parts and a story from BFR....

It was a pleasure having you guys here. I was a worn out pup and ready to kick back. Thanks for testing my stock of boxes!



I am a simple guy, I was checking a row of trucks and found these lift shackles with tow bar pins in them. You ever wonder where all those tow bar pins went? I once left an ebay negative feedback after a long fight to get the two tow bar pins I paid dearly for and got shackle pins instead. It was an ugly deal and I hate to leave negative feedback. Only did it twice in 2300 plus transactions... Anyway, finding these two put a smile on my face today!

Nice find! Do you still have any winch trucks? Kenny and I will be there next Friday.

 

[91W350]

No shortage of trucks here. I bought an additional 39 the last two auctions and they released another 50.

Man, I wish there were places like this up here in Canada. I could spend days in a place like that, drooling and pulling parts all day long.

 

[91W350]

I doubt there are many places like this in the US. We give away a lo5 of small parts with a small purchase. Things that do not weigh up.

What do you get for a 5 ton (M923) hard top?

Thanks!

 

[91W350]

500 dollars, we will not ship them.

I am picking up an M923 from Ft. Riley soon (making plans now)

Do you have the wooden cargo bed sides/seats in desert tan?

I would be interested in a good radiator for a M923 and a good running NHC 250 and a bunch of small parts, thanks in advance

 

[91W350]

We might get the wood bed sides, I never saved any of those. I am not sure about a good running 250, we never try to start them. We have a core buyer who has been decent to work with, the trucks are bought as salvage, no paper work for titling, so we have been knocking them down without testing anything. The radiator is no problem , we saved a couple that looked new, however the miles might be a problem as we do not ship.

Had a great time playing in the mud Friday and Saturday. Thanks Glen for the hospitality and good deals.

Do you get the bed sides/troop seats in aluminum?

~B~

 

[91W350]

Fiberglass, looks like aluminum, but it is definitely fiberglass. I never have seen an aluminum set in over 1000 trucks now.

 

[belmor]

How much for a complete set?

~B~

 

[91W350]

200 dollars will get the headboards, side corners, long side frames and the seats themselves.

 

[belmor]

I wouldn't be lucky enough for you to be open on Sunday would I?

I am picking my truck up in Ft. Riley and heading straight back from there.

 

[91W350]

I am closed on Sunday, but I live in the military yard. We can set a nice set out and load you up in short order if we had a time. I guess we is me. Seems like Salina will take you over 100 miles out of your way to Florida though.
