God I hate my local Junk yards

[Sunk]

The local yards around here seem to have pretty good prices, and are usually pretty chill about looking in the yard. I guess you kinda have to be when you're burning RV's and crushing boats and selling them for scrap 'metal.'

dude, I want to burn my RV (satan was the original owner) and collect the insurance......... but my mom is $15,000 upside down in it........

I do like there cross reference books, but the yards here never have what I am after ..... most of the F/S GM's of my vintage have been sold for scrap. but they are full of RBV's and TTB F-250's.

I think they have trees to grow that GM stuff on down here. Parts seem to be laying around everywhere for them for pretty cheap.

The problem is all the yard around me call them selves "used parts store" and charge almost new prices....

Oh well, If I can't find what I'm looking for I guess I'm gonna have to learn how to use a Dial indicator and how to set a rear end up





Shit If I had a yard like that around I'd be willing to pay 5 - 10 bucks just to look

Wow, that sucks... u-pulls around here are awesome compared to yours. You dont even have to tell em what ur wanting, just go out back and have at it. The bigger stuff like engines, axles, and trannys can be a lil spendy cuz if theyre good theyve already pulled em, but i went in got the 'FORD' emblems off of a 76, drivers window out of B2, front yoke for rear driveline, t-case shifter and just a wheelbarrow full of stuff, like 5.0 symbols... it was all like $25. Half the time if you just want something small like an under hood light, theyre like "eh, its yours". Tho they started this deal where its $1 to get in now...

maybe we should work out a trade. I need a D60 front from a 73-87 1 ton to replace my corp 10bolt.

 

[LittleBigFoot]

The online ones overcharge the worst from what I've seen. They were charging 760 for a front D44 front with disks and 3.73's


I could buy an entire bronco for that and salvage the 302 and the D44 and Ford 9 for well under 500 around here

 

[TRUNK_MONKEY]

well damn

we paid 450 for axle and springs,but the axle had 7000 miles on it. and was geared right for our use to match the front.a bit steep,but a total bolt in.FYI all,we put a 2004 ranger rear axle in a 1990 ranger--all bolted right in,and we used the 2004 springs too-all bolted right in.it had a 7.5 as the original axle.

around here the junk yards almost never call you back when you ask them about parts and they say 4.10's are rare.if you can read the ford axle tags youll find that they are more common than you might think.a lot of the 4 banger trucks came with those axles.i took the axle tags off so the wrecker wouldent gouge me on the price(it costed them the same as a 2.75 axle to haul off)
