salvage yards near austin?

[cell]

Anyone have a list of salvage yards near (within an hour drive or so) the Austin, TX area?

In particular, where I might find an old GM P30 van with a cummins in it

Try Highway 71 East Auto Salvage. A couple of years ago they had several longbeds and a 2-3 Suburbans. I haven't been there since so they might be gone.

There's nothing left at Highway 71. I was there a few weeks ago. They had one 67-72 and it was done.

No there are 2, the second was is hard to find but its in even worse condition.. but yeah there arent any left really. Aarons salvage yard on south congress has about 3 but they are all picked apart pretty dam well.

Cant say for sure what you will find there as I never was there looking for Chevy parts, only F word parts. But Harolds in Briggs, TX is a gold mine for old parts. There is one in Cedar Park that has old stuff and always Action Auto Recyclers in Temple, TX. and All-A-Motive in Killeen.

Killeen, Copperas Cove and the Surrounding Fort Hood area has a few small junkyards that you ahve to drive around to find but I know I have seen Chevy trucks in them.

Will work on some phone numbers If I can and getting the name of the one in Cedar Park.

It is a shame but I know the one in Briggs had two 67-72 Suburbans in it at one time and they are now gone. He keeps a set aside area for older stuff so I can only hope someone, somewhere is restoring them now.

Shoot me a PM with what you are looking for. I'm in Austin and have parts laying around.

i live in san marcos and frequent a salvage yard in seguin. 123 south out of town. jacks or jims or something but it is a great place. well organized and many trucks of our vintage. some still even have parts. i was there 2 weeks ago and saw a 68 with a good front clip and sheet metal.

drive south on 123 from san marcos, go all the way through seguin, and about 5 miles out of town, turn left at the old international jeep/truck

The one in Seguin is John's Salvage yard, yes many parts n trucks but he is very proud of his stuff and everything is expensive. For example he wanted a ww switch for $5 less than a new one, unreal.
