Just bought a factory HomeLink unit for it for $5 (eBay would have been $30).

But I'm even more excited that I may have found a perfect donor truck for interior parts. :willy: It is the same color interior. I could get another round of the pieces I painted already, PLUS the overhead console and just about anything else I can think of. The guy is waiting to hear what is going to happen with the truck (totaled or repaired; conflicting stories regarding level of insurance coverage right now). SO basically I can get an ENTIRE matching interior 8 miles away!!!! :thumbs:

Hey Matt,,,,Hope it works out for you.
That would be neat to get all of that... :fingersx:

I sure hope so too! :fingersx:
I figured I'd tell him $50-75 for everything I can take. If I decide to buy the dash too (apparently you have to remove the dash to take out the piece that goes around the passenger airbag that I want; if you know what I mean), I'd do $150 for everything that I can take.

I mean seriously, who the heck else is gonna want interior parts? Other than the seats (which I also don't need).

I'd buy the whole truck, but it can't move on its own (hood, driver's fender, driver's door, front driver's side suspension are all junk). I have no idea what happened, but I know the guy drove it down the road with sparks flying and on the frame/A-arm. Plus, I have no use for another engine or transmission. I might take a look at the box, but I already know the truck has 184k miles on it (check the gauge cluster; love the old mechanical ones!).


And before you ask Dennis, somehow the mirror on the driver's side got busted and obviously the A-arm is junk too. Sorry :(

This for the S-10 or the K-1500?

Oops, sorry. For the K1500 (the HomeLink and the possible parts truck). The S10 doesn't get any fun stuff, just enough to keep it running. :D I started a thread on it (the HomeLink) and have had 40 views, but no one knows what to do apparently. :dunno:



Gave it a quick rinse. It needed it badly.
