Maybe only a car nut would take camera to a junkyard, but definitely only car nuts would read a thread titled "junkyard fieldtrip". I know I am, and I did.

Maybe so, but the true car nuts would not only read it, but post in it too. I'm just glad I'm not the only weirdo who thinks going to the junkyard is a fun activiity Haha |

not three,look again all 4 are there,no caps.  but the rims were in very good shape. i think the yard gets 20 bucks for all types of rims. but they hit you 10 bucks a tire, too. so the last time i got a rim out of there i just took along a batt sawzall,and ziped the tire off |

I love salvage yard field trips (I hate junk yard term, it's not junk it's salvage  ). What's with pic #9 is that a Taurus? I know it's not either Gen Aurora. I wish I had that many Aurora's to pick from around here  . |

I love the salvage yard. I've been to a couple that are here locally the last three weekends in a row, LOL. I also take a camera most of the time because there's some interesting stuff sometimes. Anyway, today I snatched up three photocells out of the center of the dash from 3 of the 4 Auroras at Pick-N-Pull today. I tried cleaning the old one to no avail, but I popped in one of the salvaged ones and now the lights come on at night like they are supposed to. Also got a new idler pulley for the 4.3 in my Sonoma. I noticed it squeaking when we got ready to leave the house this morning. Some of my salvage yard pics www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2020967&id=1214185510&l=d661f00964Still one of my favorite pictures of me.  |

damn no junk yard around......
I just paid a carguts $45 for the seat belt in a wrecked car, with lower trim pillar broken..... that was bs..... They didn't even lower the price for a broken part....... and does not lower the price if I only want the buckle end.... shipping delayed for a week because they waiting for me to call back while they didn't even leave me a message, just a random out of state number....
I guess it will be a totally different story if I actually go visit the yard....

holy cow we have a lot of junkyards around here too but that one has auroras everywhere! you could make a small fortune just taking orders from folks on here and pulling the parts/ shipping to them. if you see gold emblems on one grab it. i know u can get rid of those on here or ebay.
froggy ain't seen ya in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!
