Good source for 81-86 parts in N. Texas? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fade94 · 07-15-2005, 08:28 AM

I am trying to find a source for parts used or new in North Texas. I need the following for my son's 83.
Under hood harness (air and cruise)
In cab harness including door wiring (air, PW, PDL)
Rear leaf springs (I have been told short bed is different than long bed springs) I need the ones for short bed.
Inst. panel w/gauges.
Cruise/turn signal lever
Cruise parts from under hood.
Pass side fender
I have been able to find the fender and that's it.

Don't know if you want to drive this far or not but there is a salvage near downtown OKC that has quite a few trucks in this year model range that are pretty much complete.

the pick a parts in Grand Prairie, down on Jefferson and Davis, have tons of them. There are quite a few Suburbans in them, too.

Thanks JonBoy. That's what I was wondering about. I have never been to one, how does it work? I have heard that it's $20 for all you can carry out.

It depends on the yard. The one I frequent is $1 to get in, and they look at what you have and price it accordingly. It is kind of hit and miss. Sometimes you can make a killing on little stuff for next to nothing, or sometimes you pay what it is worth. Depends on the mood of the guy at the window. I put all of my little stuff in a bag, so that helps. Usually I am looking for the nuts and bolts to replace the stuff I lost.....

Soto got a new truck and will be taking the motor and trans out of the white one he has then trying to sell it hole or parts it has a white face cluster and a straight front and doors and new GM hood. If you can wait about a month to give him enough time to make the swap I am sure you can get some of the parts

fade94 · 07-15-2005, 04:00 PM

Cool. I saw that he had replaced his doors with blue ones.
