What to grab at the junkyard?

I've found 2 Thunderbirds in a local yard. One's an 86 and the other I'm not sure...

What parts should I be considering pulling other than the interior trim and digital gauges I want for my soon to be running 86?

They've got wheelbarrows... I plan on using one. ;)

I'm pretty sure the 86 was white ext/red int.... V6 the other was a 302 and was gray/? It was hot Friday when I was there and I'm too old to be playing in the sun as much as I did so no guarantees, either may have been silver. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I get in a junkyard and to be honest it surprised me to find two Fox 'Birds with usable parts. They're pretty scarce around here, seems the yards crush them nearly as soon as they get them.
