Hey guys, just picked up a 93 F350 diesel, and im gonna need some random stuff to get it nice again. anyone know of a junkyard in the southern wi/madison area that has older fords? I used to go to schmidts all the time, but i guess theyve crushed all their old stuff to make room for newer vehicles. Thanks for any help!

 

Gauger Salvage in Arena might be somewhere worth calling and they are about 30 minutes west of Madtown.

Otherwise Jack's Auto Ranch in Johnson Creek or Hoops Salvage in Juda.

Too bad about Schmidts, but its gone way down hill. Too many people in there that just dont care cutting everything up to get one part out.

 

May I suggest the one on 18 just west of Sullivan.
They are open till noon on Saturdays.

262-593-8667

 

If you don't mind a bit of travel, there's a yard south of Milwaukee called Al's Auto Salvage, on Hwy 45 in Franklin. Usually have a pretty large collection of 8th and 9th gen

 

Cocrofts in Lake Geneva, WI 262-248-2833 quite a few old Ford trucks

 

When I was a kid, junkyards use to let you in to poke around and take the parts off of the vehicles. That doesn't happen much anymore, except for U-pull lots.

Most auto salvage yards are online now. Use a parts locator service like Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market instead of burning up your expensive fuel.

 

Bob and Don dont usually like people going out back though. If you want parts through them, you've typically gotta call it in and wait for them.

 

There is one in Freeport, IL called Mowery's. Freeport is just 30 south of Monroe

 

Was there about a week ago. Slim pickings and high prices, found 1 white original wagon wheel 75.00. Kinda steep.

 

I heard up near Sheboygan there is a all ford yard.

 

What's a wagon wheel ? 15" Ford truck rims are interchangeable for many years of
F-100s, F-150s and vans. My 235-75RX15 white stripes came from a Ford van
for our 75 F-150.

 

The ones that I am looking for are a special order from ford. My dad bought the truck new in 79. The center section is welded in not pressed. Hane the 3 hole black center cap. They are a bit wider than the newer models. I find them every once and awhile. Trying to get the original look Just updated abit.
