More parts parts parts parts...

So I paid a visit to my friend Rodney Fowler out in Auburn as he was parting out Phil's old 1968 Cortez. This is the Cortez I looked at in Seattle when I still had my Barth before I traded for the current Cortez. It had some choice parts I felt like I missed out on, until I met up with Rodney at the Vintage Rally back in Sept. He said he was only after the running gear, and didn't have any plans for the other parts (interior and exterior). So I gave him some cash to balance out his investment in the deal, he kept the title and the shell and I got to take whatever I wanted off the 68. Here is a list of what I pulled off. :)

Exterior Parts:
Rear Ladder, platform and Roof Pod (Similar to a Thule Box, water tight roof mounted storage)
Side Awning (What's a RV without an awning, right?) complete with mounts and poles.
Rear Grab Handle
All 6 Roof Marker Lights (Match mine, will replace round lights on the edges of the roof)

Interior Parts:
Sliding Closet doors (With full size mirror)
Bathroom door (with latching hardware for travel, and waterproof interior skin that matches my bathroom walls)
Dresser Drawers for the closet (With travel latch)
Dining table (White with linen pattern... smooth glossy finish)
Cupboard Latches
Drawer latches
3 way Dometic Fridge (a lot newer than the 42 year old fridge I have... may swap it or just keep as backup)
Power Converter (20amp 120v to 12v, good for bench testing stuff)
Porcelain Toilet (same as mine, but I accidently cracked mine, oops)

pretty darn good parts haul for $300, and I don't have to dispose of the body. ;)

update to the wheels on the last post... So I parted out the last set of wheels... I sold the tires for $250, and traded the rims to a guy named John for a different set of 20" wheels and tires with a less aggressive offset. They look a little something like this:



So I'm pretty sure teh offset and tire size is fine with these... as instead of the 305/55/20 they are 305/50/20 which is a 31" diameter like my 16x7.5 stock tires. But... the big issue I still have is the lugs on my Cortez. They are 11/16" and it's absolutely impossible to find normal size lug nuts for 11/16 lugs. They are the flat mount type dually style lugs. Oh well.. on the auction block they go.
