See you can make money working on trucks.....

So in that handful of change (I didnt go thru them all).. there was a 1968 "D" penny... these are selling for anywhere from $1500-$2500 on ebay. Side note when i was young lad i collected all sorts of stuff.. baseball cards/coins and other things.. I think this one is the rare "error" penny.. Now to find a coin dealer to comfirm.

so HotWheelsBurbon, you may have been absolutely correct. if it is that means i payed $500 for the truck... unbelievable.

Years ago I bought an RX-7 for $100. I started cleaning the interior and pulled nearly $30 in change out of it in the first hour.

A few years back, when I pulled the interior apart in my Buick to fix some wiring issues, I found an old joint and a 45 ACP bullet!

Im just posting this cause i wanted to replace my rear upper shock bolts and i couldnt find a post that suggested bolt sizes or part numbers. I installed the nitro drop 2's by the way. Installed this morning before the heat showed up.


Doorman bolts: 980-440D (.5" longer than what was in mine.)
Doorman nuts: 982-008D (flanged and nurled)

Note: I installed the belltech UPPER shock relocation brackets and these bolts just barely fit thru from top. I would think a .5" shorter would be better but they didnt have it.

I was able to re-use the bottom bolts.

how old is this buick? UAW on a friday or stoner doing a sound system(probably why you had to fix wiring?)

you can cut the bolts shorter by using a couple nuts , jam them together below the point you want cut, then cut the bolt (saw, cutoff, etc) back off the jam nut , then the other. you can then clean the thread up with a die or a thread file or use as is. the bolt is likely a 9.8,10.9, 12.9 hardness (Unless standard hardware? 8? ) which means its harder metal of course

i found more change (numerically speaking, not value if you indeed have the mint error penny) but it got sucked up with the sand in the shop vac. the same shop vac at least 2 dead mice have been in for over a year in a hot shed and some mouse nest and other yummy bbits from various interior cleanings of vehicles.

Not sure i want to recover them from it, most were corroded bad. but the mice have some change for their grave. so in a way im generous if you dont think about it.
