I didn't think that an Omega was good for anything, new or used.
If fact I can't remember the last time I say an Omega, moving or dead.
I don't even think the junkyard keep them. Straight to the bailer.

Scored a set of like new armrests from a '90 Econoline the other day! Most of my Bronc is built from junkyard parts. Lots of old standards: C-brand disc brake calipers & mounts, C-brand outer stubs and short inner axles (long inner is a Warn), NP435 from 2wd '79 F250, Mustang II brake booster, Cherokee wiper arms, lenses and reflectors from early '70's econolines. Anybody else with more ideas?

No problem Joe.
I really need to tap into your NP435 skills one of these days Joe. I found one in a junkyard by MacKall the other day. The thing is, it has this big funny box hooked up behind it. Looks almost like a big ol M21. And it has a hand lever like thing on it. I think it might be a PTO version. Gonna have to snap a pic of it.

I grabbed a rear view mirror out of a junked Caprice taxi. It had lights in the bottom. Now I have some interior lights. I also used a overflow/washer fluid can out of a early 90's Ranger. My front seats are from a 92' daytona, $10 each. You can always grab light bulbs, screws, fuses, and lug nuts. Next will be a dome light to mount on my overhead cage console.:cool:
