Good day at Gibbs salvage.

[bluefury361]

I decided to ride the 45 miles over to Gibbs salvage yard today. I have been buying stuff there for several years but haven't been in some time.

Gibbs is one of the most unorganized, weed covered, steep hill and rutted road yards I have ever been in. But there are lots of treasures there and winter is really the only time of year to go.

Here are a few pic's I shot around the place.

All the A/C stuff I needed for the Admiral including a compressor and clutch that turns free. The vacuum amplifier, and a coolant recovery bottle for Jazebelle.

I also got what I think is a fan shroud for a mid 60's C body. The two piece metal type. Anyone recognize it.......?

yes it's for a range of years and many engines up to 68. Would be correct for my 68 Coronet if you don't use it I'd be interested


It's for a 22" rad btw .. did you pull it? Did you get the attaching hardware/bolts/nuts also?

Looks like the one on my 65

 

[tallhair]

That looks great Peter

 

[300rag]

Thanks. The wonders of powdercoat.

 

[Fratzog]

Very nice. Sure looks a lot better than my wire wheel and spray bomb work LOL.

Nice find Will!

Wow! That is a nice junkyard!

 

[furyfinn]

I love places like that!

Once again Will... You suck!

 

[70NPORT]

Nice score.

I was wrong last night Will. The fan shroud is a 65-68 C body only .. not the same as the B body version.

Should have below part numbers which should also be what Peter has

2524 936: Fan shroud, upper, Fury/Polara/Chrysler, 8-cyl
2449 958: Fan shroud, lower, Fury/Polara/Chrysler, 8-cyl

Thanks for researching this Bryan. I was about to post the numbers you came up with.
This shroud is correct for 1966/67/68 C-body's with 22" radiator. Dante's has the attaching hardware available.
If anyone here is interested, let me know before it hits ebay.

The 7 blade fan, spacer and pulley are there also, I may ride back over and get them today.

Will.

I may be interested Will. My 68 didn't come with the fan shroud. It doesn't have a/c, its a convertible.

I think the shroud was part of the A/C package, and perhaps the trailer towing option, as well as the 7 blade fan. It should provide extra cooling on anything though.

 

[tallhair]

Fan and shroud and sometimes 26" rad was also part of performance axle packages in B bodies so perhaps C's?

I'm going to have to make a tour list of "good" C-body junkyards across the country to take side trips while touring the country when I retire.
