Junkyard estimates

So I'm wanting to improve the cosmetics a little on this truck and maybe add items that could be found from other trucks to mine. I have never been to a Pick-n-Pull yard before and have no idea how expensive or cheap some of the items on my list will be. Some of the items I want to add is the honeycomb grill, maybe the nerf bars though I don't have trouble getting into the truck without them, passenger side quarter panel, rear bumper, hitch receiver, and center console set up that works with the stick shift. The grill and quarter panel are the higher priority items. The previous owner had put a large dent and some nasty scratches on it and as for the grill, I just like the look of the honeycomb grill better. Any other suggestions on what to keep an eye out for? The truck is in fine running condition and will have 28k miles on it soon so I plan on driving it a good long while, probably to 100k.

I thought pick-n-pull was a general term for auto junkyards. I did take a look on their site just now and the nearest location is near San Antonio which is a three hour drive from me.

Pick-N-Pull is a chain name but there are a lot of other's out there that bo the same thing, the one closest to me is a independent that just goes by You Pull after the salvage yards name. They charge $3 to go look and and if you find what you want you remove it and pay on the way out. As far as your quarter panel it's called a box side and it's not a pick and pull part and you would need a lot of tools and experience to install one but finding a hole box is a pick item.
