Northern Cal Pick and pulls?? Where are they?

I live in the northern california east bay area. The closest big city is oakland 10 min away and I wanted to know if there are any pick and pulls that have hopefully any convertibles with descent parts or that carry a descent amount of parts for our cars. Something closer then San Jose too if that's possible.

There is a pick n pull by the berryesa flea market, next to 13th street and 101.

Also try GM Sports Salvage in SJ. Lots of good quality firebird and camaro parts far all gens.

I know they are SJ, but thats the only place I know, sorry.

dude, there are plenty of wrecking yards off of sunrise blvd in rancho cordova. theres a little community of wrecking yards and theres a ton of camaro's out there. as far as convertables, theres not a whole lot of them in the pick and pulls, your better off at the other wrecking yards. theres a gm wrecking yard in rancho that has plenty of camaros, but it depends on what you want, plus they can be a little pricey. hey let me know if you want some phone numbers so you can do some calling around.

If I can't find it around here, I'll eventually cruise up to Sacramento. They have a lot of big wrecking yards.

s a PnP. I believe it's actually in Newark, not Fremont.

Eh!! Rancho Cordova, Newark, ehh, all those are about or at least a one hour drive. I know of one in oakland from pick-n-pull.com I don't know how good it is though. From what I see in the phone book I guess I'll have to get a truck and a bunch of tools and make a big weekend trip up north.

I go to the Pick-your-Part on Winton off 880 in Hayward (almost Oakland).Take Winton Exit West,it'll be on the right as you get near the stinky bay.
Also the previously mentioned PNP in Newark.
Take Mowry exit West off 880,it's on the left after the RR Tracks,watch for cops near the yard.They like to nab people for rolling stop at the tracks or 2mph over speed limit.
Mowry yard has lots of third gens.

No, mines red. No damage it's in real good shape. You can see it in the member's rides section. What's yours look like?
