Went Junkyarding Today

[flashed]

After a dentist and eye doctor appointment this morning my wife and I went cruisin in her 72 Malibu convertible and just happened to stop by a junkyard I had wanted to check out .Found 2 old squares in there ,the 73 has a nice grill and a folding bench seat (been looking for that) ,the other one (a 77) has a good tailgate (fleetside) but I dont need it .The seat is $75 and the grill is $40 ,the tailgate is $75 .Im thinking about going back tomorrow for the seat and grill ,are they priced about right ?

kinda high for you pull it prices

Those would be Phoenix prices. Tucson prices would be about $25 less all around.

Depends on how nice they are and how bad you need them......sometimes you save money on the next deal to make up for the previous one........

There are no you pull it places near here and few junkyards period with old stuff .This place actually deals with mostly newer stuff ,these were the only 2 old trucks in there .

There is a pick and pull about 30 mi from me. They have 5 squarebodys. 2 83 long beds 2 86 long beds and a 86 suburban. I have taken parts off all 5. I love going to junk yards and looking around. There is also a huge salvage yard not far from me with over 3000 vehicles, but its not a pick and pull. I did get to ride with a employee in the back to look for a steering wheel and I counted atleast 15 squarebodys.

Prices depend where you live and what shape the parts are in.Most yards i have been to if they don't know you the prices are high ,Once they get to know you they lower the prices to get you to keep coming back.

I decided to hold off going back today for the seat and grill ,hoping to find something closer ,this place was about 60 miles away and they would not negotiate at all on price .Im not in a hurry anyway .

[andrewmp6]

Unless the parts looked brand new i would wait too.

[natedogg]

$30 for a seat, $33 for grille and $40 for tailgate at the junk yard that I frequent.

[michael bustamante]

id go $50-60 on tailgate,

[Jake Wade]

A bit high if you ask me

[flashed]

I really only need the seat ,have an extra grill already and the tailgate would have been wall art but I need to save as much cash as I can right now as we will be going on vacation soon driving my wife's 72 Malibu convertible cross country again .

[Auctioneerhere]

I have around 100+ trucks. 64-90's. When I sell parts, I try to get a decent price.

If sell to low. I can't buy more trucks.

If I cant buy them, China gets them around here.

[andrewmp6]

If you really need the seat and its not total trash id bite the bullet and go get it.

I may have a seat located 10 minutes away ,thats a lot less gas .
