need a junkyard

I need to find a junkyard to pull some pieces out of third and fourth gen cars. If anyone knows of a good one in the Dallas/Irving area in Texas, let me know. Also, what would these be under in the phone book? Thanks.

I've been to U-Wrench-It here in KC with no luck, sounds like there's better pickings on the other side of the state.

theres one called U-Pull-IT in Grandprarie(i think?) off of E-Jefferson street/road. I found it in the phone book(under salvage yards i believe). I've been there a couple of times and last time i was there, they had a row of about 30 third gen camaros. didnt really see and 4th gen. Hope this helps

Oh, and if you go there, the street it is on has a few more salvage yards, but i didnt get a chance to look around in those.

This topic would be better off in the SWMG board for Texas.

Hell yeah. The U-Pull it near Fort Worth has alot of stuff. I went there the other day. Got a few things for my TA. I need to go back. There prices are good too. I didn't think there were hardly any other people on the board in Dallas besides me.

I found a place that wanted to sell me a fourth gen console for $100. Is this a decent price? I thought it was a bit pricey, because I've heard of people getting them for about $10. I don't expect that cheap necessarily, but I don't know.

I know of a good place for 4thgen parts in Rowlett off Dalrock Rd. You can e-mail them at coolhluk@hotmail.com
Tell them Jason sent you.

Also, $100 for a 4thgen console is about the going rate.

not to revive this topic or anything, but I need one that might have a 4th gen flywheel, have any old clutch pedal setup (hydrolics and all)Any *GOOD* leads? I'll probably call all the places mentioned above...but still any others?

Hey Corry,
If you still need the hydraulics, I reccommend buying them straight from your GM dealer. I bought the complete sealed assembly (Master Cyl, Slave Cyl and reservoir) for a T-56 and it was less than $100. Not bad for all new GM parts...and no bleeding necessary - just bolt it on.

I had called the dealer....they told me a total of $300 so I went to a junkyard called Burleson Auto Recyclers or something like that, and got the entire pedal assembly, master and slave cylinder, remote resivoir, and hydrolic line for $60
