The best truck boneyards in the San Diego area are Gallent's,(just north-east of Oceanside). Hwy. 67 Truck Dismantelers on Hwy. 67 just north of Lakeside and A & B Truck on Commercial St. just east of downtown San Diego. As far as 67-72 parts it,s just luck of the draw. No one around here specializes in our years to my knowledge.

If you are in town on the weekend of Febr. 24-25. You can find anything at the Stadium where the Big 3 Swap-Meet will be held. Bring comfortable walking shoes. It's the biggest your likely to see in some time.

I also recommend the desert areas, El Centro, Lancaster, Ridgecrest. We have lots of fenders doors and beds in these areas. A&B there in San Diego was where I bought my new fenders for my Longhorn. Good luck and have fun looking around, I always enjoy. Let me know if you need contact info for Ridgecrest and kern county Junk Yards?

in the valley you can spend some coin at Memory Lane (a bit expensive for my tastes, but usually has decent parts)

I keep thinking we should start a little parts co-op for the la/sd area. There are so many of us and so many trucks with so many people trying to rip people off for parts locally, that it would be nice to trade and buy parts comfortably from people we trust.

There's a couple yards in Santa Paula (Ventura County on 126).
Your best bet would be the High Desert area though, about everything they get down here is rusted to hell from the salt air.
