I recently toured the local pick a part yards in chicago, and all of them have flat rate prices on parts. I was searching for several key pieces for an beat 02 F150 I bought . During the search, I ended up buying from the pick a parts, a windshield, bucket seats and console, rear bumper, right side mirror, and front oem ford mud flaps. Example any rear axle assembly would be about $125 and it makes no difference if its from a vega or a F150. You remove it, or they cut it out for $40 to $50 more. I found several F150s and expeditions and 1 navigator, and in the chicagoland area I could have several for maximum $200 or less. Craigslist helped with several other parts including a tailgate. Nos 02 navigator wheels and tires came via ebay and I traveled 120 miles each way for them, and they still had the nubs on the tires. I suggest you venture to a major city and check out what the pick a part yards have to offer, or keep scanning craigslist and ebay for local deals. .
