Junk Yard Score!
Two sets of rear door inner weatherstrip, keyless remote module with wiring, rear door panel fake leather pieces with electric window switches, drivers side headlight, drivers door inner window strip, AND... 4 door power window switch and cover plate! All for $35. That includes entry price. Sweet!

Good score! I'm curious about the keyless remote module- is this something you're adding to a truck that was not built with the remote option? If so, do share what's involved with making such a conversion! What year is your truck?Thanks!

Well, im guessing its wiring that has to go to the fuse box, door lock control, and has a car antenna input, so I need to find an antenna splitter (female input to two male outs). I still need to go back for the rear door regulators with motors, but I didn't have my drill or a punch for the rivets

I can't believe how many 40/20/40's I saw. If I had the man power if way to carry one, I would have scored that, and a nice set of American Racing Outlaw II's. Good thing about socal, LOADS of junkyards.

I haven't been to any junkyards yet, only lived here a few months and I'm still broke from the move. But there's seems to be a decent one on my way to work and I'm only a 45 minute drive from Colorado Springs and I'm always seeing wrecks up there on the news. Denver is only another hour drive north beyond the springs but I doubt I'd have to go that far.
And there's always craigslist.

Nice. I'm sure there's a bunch around here. I'll have to sniff 'em out when I get caught up on my bills.

Serious, if any of you guys want me to sniff out parts, let me know, I'm happy to look. Shipping might be easier on small parts than spending the gas on a long drive with a 7.5L

And let you have all the fun of picking through junkyards? I don't think so!
