vendors list for 73-87 used parts? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are there any good 73-87 used parts vendors listed here or elsewhere on the net?

Goggle isn't much help... usually takes me to junkyarddog.com and those types of places. I was hoping to find someone who specializes in 73-87 parts.

I don't get alot of stuff often and when I do it usually is sold locally or it is a WHOLE truck. But you can try http://www.rustfreeparts.com

Looks like mostly body parts, but I will certainly call them to check!

Jim, the main problem with our year trucks is always the same- the parts are too large/expensive to ship unless someone has the special deal with UPS like Chris(captkaos) does because of the business. I just posted a large list in the 73-87 PARTS section and so did DPmalibu and we are both close enough to drive to and i actually go your way about twice a year. Crap, your real close to carlisle so did you go to ALL TRUCKS ???
My list of parts is only 1/4 of what I actually have here and comes from 20+ years of re-doing them as a hobby. my list is only larger/more diserable stuff but ,feel free to drop me a line on what ever else you might need. I also posted a complete 1974 Shortbed body a while back and a 78 Burb for parts.
I can tell you that i hit a lot of salvage yards and it really isn't worth the time- with the price of scrap metal being what it is they are crushing them as soon as they get em in. a full size truck is good $$ in the scrap pile :-((, crossy

No, didn't go to the all truck show

-- I miss most of that stuff due to just being too busy at home and doing stuff with the family! --

I'll check out your lists, and send a message.
thanks -
