junkyard run questions...

[xicor37]

I'm headed to the pull-a-part tomorrow. They have around 8 square bodies of various years. Asides from the parts I need, what are some other parts I should look for? Maybe some rare stuff or rare to find in good shape. Anything that I might need in the future or could turn a profit on. My local pull-a-part has the cheapest pricing of any yard I've ever been to. Is there anything that is a must get if I see it?

Thanks,
~Tyler

solid sheet metal, tailgate bands in no dent shape or really good shape, tons of ppl want them.

Maybe clutch pedal setups hydro or mech. Tons of ppl convert to stick shift.

700r4's ppl like, tbi trucks which are 87 and up. Alot of ppl like or want the tbi stuff.

The small sport mirrors,

TACH DASHES FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear the all electric burb dashes and stuff are good for those who do ls swaps and such.

good shape rally center caps or trim rings, most after market are plastic. Rear sport bumpers, tons of ppl want them, they are the non step ones, like the front bumper only on the back.

Definitely solid sheet metal like fenders, tailgates, beds, hoods, core support,...

Around here I've seen over a hundred bucks, he got this one for less than 20 because the junkyard we use is the ****.
