Parting out 1985 300SD

Lots of good parts on this. Its a nice beat body. It was dented and trunk wouldn't close when i got it 10 years ago. Then I sold it to my buddy for a work car -- he's a carpenter and he used it for several years running wvo. He had the transmission rebuilt a few years ago and right after that he quit using it and put it out to pasteur. He added an extra transmission cooler to when he did the transmission. I drove it home a couple months ago . It started right up and still does on the first lick. But i started to part it out.

Stuff that is gone:
brake booster
brake vac hose
egr controller
cruise control
cruise amp


Notable Good parts it has:

Transmission , just rebuilt,
Tranny cooler and temp gauge
Radiator
Tow hitch
veggie switching valves -- cheap oreilly ones
electric lift pumps that are free flowing when not running-- great addition to any 60X motor for priming or any wvo system for a little extra help
Differential
IP -- has had years of wvo use but works
Radiator
Plastic fan

Let me know what you need

Some funny pics. This thing used to have a piece of plywood screwed to the hood for a work table .





Wanna see some chicken skin?

Wait til you see the trunk . This car is beat. It still drove fine though . I was tempted to get a new seat for and gut it and cruise around in it. It would be a good pull a part picker upper. I wish i had a picture of when it had 3/4 inch a piece of plywood bolted to the hood for a work table. It took up the whole hood. The hinges didn't like it and one broke.

I was lazy and put the vegetable oil tank where the passenger seat was when i had this car 10 years ago because it was easier to run the coolant lines. It got too hot in the summer for sure but was nice in the winter. Not real nice in a passenger Tbone situation.
