New, Rebuilt, Salvage Yard

Anyone have a running list on good parts that can be purchased from a salvage yard. My air pump is frozen because the truck sat for 18 months. Should I go with a rebuild?

I'm not to happy with chiltonsdiy.com, although I have nothing to compare it to, I would have like to seen some video and detailed photos. They could also have done some cool stuff by overlaying the diagrams with photos so you could clikc on a part and it would say what the part was.....Mybe I just too new of a newbie.

You'd probably be safe with a salvage yard air pump. I've hardly ever seen one go bad, except locking up from sitting like yours.

I did try to buy one from a salvage yard in my area and they told me they can't sell emission parts. But other less 'professional' places don't seem to care.

If you live in a state that dosen't check for emissions, just remove the air pump and run a shorter belt.
