Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

Package delivered yesterday! Awesome Thank you. Now back to painting so I can mount them. Thanks again

No worries man, glad i could help. Glad you like them.
Lemme know how they look when they're on.

If you need me to measure the mounting location for them, the 73 i took them off is still at the junkyard,i could measure the hole location.

I’ve been hitting the junk yards for many years now, with lots of good finds but by far this is the best score ever. Ranger III torque splitter overdrive from Advance Adapters made in 1994. $129, rang up as a transfer case. I happily laid in a puddle under a motorhome in the junkyard to get it. I haven’t installed in my truck (‘86 K20) yet but it’s definitely on the list. I found this two months after I completed my GM Goodwrench swap upgrading the original engine so I didn’t quite have the heart to pull it apart again but I will get it done this summer.

That would be awesome, if you could take a picture of the location! With a tape measure for reference

Nice score! I have never seen a motorhome with a manual transmission.

New meat in the yard so I scored some more parts to take off my list. It sure would be nice to find a perfect dash pad!

Went back this morning to get some parts I was unable to get yesterday because they closed for the day. There were a couple peeps in line in front of me, then several more went to the front of the line. Most only had very large screw drivers and pry bars which was a little puzzling to me. So the door opens and these guys in front of me get let in and bypass the entrance fee. Hmm, interesting so they must work there. I pay my entry fee and go to the square I was getting parts from day before. I then noticed those guys methodically going to certain autos and prying trunks, side hatches, anything they can force their way in. They rifle through those now unlocked areas looking for treasures, I now call them treasures hunters. After they finish that, they start removing parts with higher values. Looks like you have to get there early when new meat arrives or you are left with crappy parts, at least at this yard. I now know why the vehicles are pretty much picked over when I get there. I guess that’s why it’s called “PICKED APART”. There was a nice front bumper on that truck when I left at closing, gone this morning, so I guess it’s opened to others after the public is locked out. I did score some gauges, chrome, door panels, steering wheel, and turn signals. Had I waited until tomorrow, I would not of scored anything…brutal!

It s like a garage sale, if you see it and you want it.
Take it then.
No complaining afterwards.

Where in Colorado are you? Any trucks with decent beds in that yard? I'm probably heading down to Denver and the Springs in the next week or two.

No complaints, just educated today why these cars are so hammered. Two of the three trucks had auto tilt columns. Every one of them the ignitions were trashed, lock mechanism laying on the floor. They haven’t been in the yard more than a day.

I’m in Denver, no all of them were rough, mostly cratered in an area of the bed. Where from in SD?

Rapid City. My son lives in Denver and daughter lives in Colorado Springs. Been to one U Pull it in Denver about a year ago, but not much squarebody stuff there.

There’s six of them in Aurora yard but not much left of them. What are you looking for?
