i was looking more along the lines of the local yards cause i need to pull the motor cause i need all the bolts and eveything along those lines . cause the shop that pulled the old motor out a few years ago gave the truck back with no bolts. so i need to be able to get them too..

I don't know what yards are around the Vicksburg area. There is a yard in Natchez (Natchez Salvage) they have a lot of late model stuff. I am sure that they will have what you are looking for.

I went to pull a part in Jackson and don't recommend getting an engine there. All the hoods are up and the most of the engines are missing something to let the rain in. I'd just use one for a core. I mainly saw 4.9L sixes, 5.0's, some FE's, and a couple 351M's. There are some van's with engines in them that may not have water in them, but what a pain to remove.

I'd try to find a wrecked truck and buy the whole thing, remove what you need and have it crushed

"Complete Truck Parts" in Jxn @ 4898 College Hill, 601-922-6607. Its a rough place, but they have got lots of stuff. A lot of loose engines, mostly covered or wrapped. Some still in place & he's pretty picky about them being saleable.

I forgot about that place, I've driven by there a couple times. Bring pistol, better yet a bazooka.
