I thought it would be nice if we had a thread where we could post parts we need or have found in local junkyards. I know that I always have some part that I am watching for, but it is hard to cover all the junkyards in the area.

So for instance someone might post:
Keep your eyes out for a bench seat from a 1994 extended cab.
And the next time I go to the junkyard, I can watch for this part.

You could also post interesting parts you have found:
I saw a mint condition bumpside tailgate for sale in Wiggins today.

It could also work for private parts trucks as well. For instance, I know of a guy in Pass Christian parting out a 1976 F150 2WD.

 

I'll start it off. I haven't found any dentside (1973-1979) trucks in junkyards on the coast. Let me know if you see any of these trucks being parted out.

 

I've seen a couple at Lamar Auto Salvage in Oloh, that's been awhile back though.

 

I've lived in Mississippi for a long time, but I'll admit I had to look that one up.

Thanks for the tip!

 

Jackson pull a part has a 68 f100 with perfect windshield, several other bumpsides with good metal.

 

Someone please keep their eyes out for a nice glove box liner, headlight buckets, and door panels for a 73-79 F-series for me. I'm having trouble finding these old trucks on the coast and would love to get my hands on them!

 

I'm looking for a "good" tailgate for my 78.
Please call Robert

Got one from David in Ocean Springs. THANKS ! David and that's a nice 71 ford your driving.

 

You are very welcome and thanks. I am actually selling her now if you know of anyone looking for one. I have a ad listed here in the marketplace for it.

 

i am looking for 2 rims like this to replace the inside steel rims on my truck.

 

I'll try to remember next path through the local P A P, but big F's are rare. Post up if you succeed.

 

I am searching for a rear filler neck (metal piece) for a 80-86 f150 dual tank truck SWB!!

 

About 10 years ago, I came across a good many dents when I was looking for parts for a 37 Ford I was building at the time. Most of the places were mechanic shops or just random properties with a bunch of cars. I ended up with some good pieces, but not everyone was so friendly. Now that I actually want to look for parts, most of the places around here are pretty bare. The "real" yards don't have much stuff that old.

I can't say that I want to start knocking on doors again.

I'm looking for:

Front bumper
Windshield
Set of side mirrors
Glove box
Tail light lense
Several other odds and ends

 

Hey Andy, can't say we've met (?)

You're looking for 73-79 parts right, our local PAP has had them occasionally but they are usually junk.

Will keep an eye out.

 

I plan on going to the PAP on I-55 S next Friday. Is this the one others are referring to?

I was mainly looking for a 130 amp 3G alternator for my truck, but was hoping to see a dentside or two. In my experience, yards that organized don't have stuff that old.

 

Yeah, that's the one. They have them only occasionally & usually really worn the hell out.

But you can look on line & see what years they have at any time. They are pretty good at keeping inventory current on the website.

Drop me a PM & Thomas or I or both of us will meet up with you. JY'ing is what we do to relax
