Junkyard Assistance Thread
I thought it would be nice if we had a thread where we could post parts we need or have found in local junkyards. I know that I always have some part that I am watching for, but it is hard to cover all the junkyards in the area.
So for instance someone might post:
Keep your eyes out for a bench seat from a 1994 extended cab.
And the next time I go to the junkyard, I can watch for this part.
You could also post interesting parts you have found:
I saw a mint condition bumpside tailgate for sale in Wiggins today.
It could also work for private parts trucks as well. For instance, I know of a guy in Pass Christian parting out a 1976 F150 2WD.

I've seen a couple at Lamar Auto Salvage in Oloh, that's been awhile back though.

Someone please keep their eyes out for a nice glove box liner, headlight buckets, and door panels for a 73-79 F-series for me. I'm having trouble finding these old trucks on the coast and would love to get my hands on them!

You are very welcome and thanks. I am actually selling her now if you know of anyone looking for one. I have a ad listed here in the marketplace for it.

About 10 years ago, I came across a good many dents when I was looking for parts for a 37 Ford I was building at the time. Most of the places were mechanic shops or just random properties with a bunch of cars. I ended up with some good pieces, but not everyone was so friendly. Now that I actually want to look for parts, most of the places around here are pretty bare. The "real" yards don't have much stuff that old.
I can't say that I want to start knocking on doors again.
I'm looking for:
Front bumper
Windshield
Set of side mirrors
Glove box
Tail light lense
Several other odds and ends

I plan on going to the PAP on I-55 S next Friday. Is this the one others are referring to?
I was mainly looking for a 130 amp 3G alternator for my truck, but was hoping to see a dentside or two. In my experience, yards that organized don't have stuff that old.

Yeah, that's the one. They have them only occasionally & usually really worn the hell out.
But you can look on line & see what years they have at any time. They are pretty good at keeping inventory current on the website.
Drop me a PM & Thomas or I or both of us will meet up with you. JY'ing is what we do to relax
