I have yet to find a good U-pull-it around here. I know they exist but not close by. Everything local is they-pull-it.

I guess I'm a little luckier than some of you. There's two of them 75 miles to the south (Omaha) and another one 60 miles to the north of me (Sioux City). I sometimes wish they were closer, but I guess it could be worse. ;)

I've made 8-10 runs so far this summer, usually just as a fun way of spending the day. But I always find some treasures to bring home. :D

I'm kind of in the same boat as Keith as the best ones here are an hour north or almost two south. All kinds of smaller collections around spread all over the countryside as well and I try to hit those as I hear about them or spot them from the road.

in joplin,mo and miami,ok i know the yards that you can walk or have them pull. it just costs an extra 30 if you need help getting a part off. but they do try to find the smaller parts in their storage container first, and if it's in there they let you have it for the u pullit price.

Out in Cali i know it's Kluarers or is it spelled Klaurers?

I found a '67 rearview mirror and front sway bar... This has to be the easiest (and fastest) way to get that sway bar! Total was $75.00..

Yeah, I guarantee that it's gonna take a lot longer to install than it took to remove! :lol: But that's an excellent score...you have all the parts you'll need there. Just drill a few holes in the frame for the front support brackets and it'll bolt right up. :thup:

It would if it was on the back of a '77-older F250 4x4, but not if it was on a 2WD. With the frame being wider in the back of the 2WD's, the bar was wider and will hit the shocks on our trucks. (I know, 'cause I tried!)
