Hey everyone. So what are the good spots to pick some parts around these parts? (Reno/Carson area) I was at the Reno Pick N Pull today and was quite dissapoiinted in their "selection". I'm looking for a tailgate for my 77 as well as some trim items. Any suggestions?
Good Night Nevada
From my experience Reno Auto Wrecking, Gentry Auto Wrecking in Reno. Then as Donna said Mound House. & Carson City Pick & Pull the last time I was there was way better than Reno.
I have done a lot of business with Reno Auto Wrecking on 4th St.
FWIW I lived in Northern Nevada for over 55 years.

Thanks for the input Kermmy. My experience with Reno Auto Wrecking on 4th is that they deal primarily with new(er) trucks. I have gone their for my 01 F350 but I have never seen 70s model trucks there. I will definitely be checking out Carson and Moundhouse. The Reno Pick & Pull was a joke. Hopefully the Carson area produces. I don't want to have to order bigger ticket items online...
YEAH...it's Thursday! How's my guys this morning?
The weekend's almost here (thank God) & it feels like this week has been draggin' on forever.
What are your plans for today?
I really should wrap Kaedons birthday gifts & get the house/carpets cleaned before her party this weekend, but I keep procrastinating. LOL!
*Can you tell I'm not looking forward to doing housework?*
Oh yah... Buck, are you coming in this morning? If so, does anyone want to meet up at Mills Park or Carson Pick n Pull for a small GTG? We could all meet there & then decide what to do if our schedules allow?!
Good morning Nevada, happy Thursday! Damn wind yesterday ripped some of the aluminum cladding off of our house, so I need to call around to get that fixed. UG.
Donna I wont be able to make it over there until about 2pm today. The wife worked last night so I am watching the little one while she gets a little sleep. I am good with meeting up then if anyone is available.
Well, the birthday party this weekend has been cancelled, so I will just go over today and giver her the gifts I bought her. Wrapped them all up in a Derrel's Mini Storage box. She is eight, I doubt she will care, she will most likely be more interested in what is in the box, not what it says on the outside.

Aaawww, sorry to hear that. Well, send Birthday wishes to her for me please.

Ok, I'm sure we can figure something out. I have to watch my 2 y/o granddaughter later today, so maybe I can just pick her up in Dayton & bring her with me. How old is your lil' one? Maybe if they're around the same age, they could have a play date?!

My little one is only 4 and a half months old. It would be kinda tough to take her part pickin with me so that's why I am kinda stuck until mommy gets some rest. ...One day she will be helping daddy pull parts though

Aawww...how precious! What a fun age. I miss those days! Is she your 1st?
I have 3 kids...Cambria - 23 (married), Karl - 15, & Kaedon - 14 tomorrow Plus Athena , my 2 y/o granddaughter.
Welp, I was able to pick up a tailgate for my troubles today. It wasnt cheap but I was able to snag a pretty decent shape tailgate with the "FORD" stamped into it (instead of the aluminum FORD panel setup)and all of the needed hardware. Pretty happy about it. And its white to boot so it will go with the current paint on the truck....Now to just unload this bulky Caravan Camper thats on the truck
Also got to meet Donna (olfthfl) as I was passing through Stagecoach. It was nice meeting you today Donna! Look forward to future get togethers.
Wakey, wakey...rise n shine
Woohoo! It's finally Friday.
Buck -It was great meeting you yesterday. Thank you for stopping in Stagecoach on your way to Fallon. I'm glad you were able to find a tailgate for your truck. I hope Little John didn't charge you a whole bunch. I know he's pricey compared to others, but like I mentioned...when other places don't have what you're looking for, he's probably got it.
On a different note,
Kaedons 14th birthday is today!
I did manage to get her gifts wrapped & pick up around the house yesterday. Now I just have to actually clean. BLAH!
