Anyone know of a boneyard on the east coast where I might get some door panels?

I live NOVA. So here are my suggestions and reviews.

Their pricing is steep, and the desk staff is pretty rude for the most part. Do you due diligence and research before you bring your part to the front desk. There is a good amount of business happening on the weekends when I've been able to get out there, but the staff act like you don't matter to them and will keep you waiting, not want to discuss anything, and absolutely no bargaining. The only reason I go there is that they usually have a good inventory to pick from. Calling ahead has never helped as they have never bothered to give me a straight answer. So, I take my chances and make the trip though it is a ~90-100 mile round trip for me.

Pricing is steep. SD truck availability is low. They have more cars, vans, and smaller SUVs to cater to the suburban population. Staff is courteous and will answer the phone and provide detail information before you go there. They will pull the parts after you inspect and decide. But they will tack a charge for pulling the part as well. They keep a private area that they will escort you through for vehicles in 'better' shape than the rest out in the the yard. I've only seen 1 excursion come through this yard in the last 2 years, and they were asking for very high pricing for parts coming off of it.

I have been to the Stafford location a couple of times. Staff is courteous in person. YMMV regarding talking to them ahead of heading out to the yard. Pricing is a bit steep. Good inventory out in the yard. They also have a private inventory of 'better' quality that they tack a bit of $$ to and usually won't let you pull stuff off on these.

Prices are much higher in a 50 mile radius south of Washington DC, as compared to southern states - FL/TX etc. I have not ventured much out north of here. I stopped by a yard near Roanoke/Lynchburg IIRC in January that had a good set of SD trucks. Finding SD trucks and Excursions in NoVA boneyards is not very easy though.

 

I followed the wiring and I cant get the driver door to go down. There's a relay setup that's causing the down to not function. It has something to do with the ground switch I believe. Anyone have the same problem? It has something to do with the auto down feature.

 

Auto down will not work any more with this conversion, but you should still have the down function if wiring was done correctly. Check your splices...one might have come loose for that function.

 

Nicmike would you be up for a phone call? Let me know. I can tell what I've done. Maybe give me a pointer. Thanks

 

It's been 2.5 years...not all fresh in my memory...but I can call you.

I I watch this guy all the time on YouTube here's one of his dash swaps but he also does doors and damn there everything else he has some amazing parts that he makes and good resources on other companies that have the parts and the modules you're going to need to get everything to operate.
