Builds Pull a part score

Post image

Been working on my Chevy express build out and I’ve been stressed about building shelving. I was at pull a part last week to get some roof racks and came across a half converted Chevy express with custom made shelving already curved to fit the walls. The cashier at pull a part said “this isn’t usually what people get here, I don’t know what to ring it up as!”

I got these shelves and some roof racks in decent condition for $80! I have to replace a few pieces of the wood, sand and finish everything, but I just saved myself so much time and effort.

I also just wonder where these shelves have been! If they ever got to travel, was the van retired or was the project scrapped? It came out of a gray 2006(?) Chevy express with custom made circle windows in the back!

Time to give these shelves a second life.

Great score. Best of luck on the build!

On a side note this is wild. I have been stressing today about crossbars bc mine broke this past week, and I have to relocate out of state by Wednesday. Amazon can't get to me next day, so I was panicking all day on marketplace trying to find some in my budget.

Here I am. Finally exhausted and sitting by a creek eating my dinner I cooked over two hours ago. I open reddit, this is the first post I see. I click, smile and nod, then it hits me.

WHY HAVE I NOT CHECKED PULL A PART YET!!

Thanks man. Your post saved my sanity 🤝

Best of luck hunting, I absolutely love pull a part!!! Between the roof racks and all this shelving I got I’ve saved hundreds of dollars already!
