Awesome, Thanks!

I was also wondering, at that place, do they let you wander around or do you tell them what you're looking for and they take you to that truck. I like the places that let you do the searching for yourself. I'm definitely planning to go on Saturday.

I'm only 45 min away from Ft. Dodge. Never knew there was a boneyard up there. Where is it?

I don't even go to the office any more. I just walk on back, look around, and get the parts I want. Some times the prices are good and sometimes I think they are a little high. If it is something that is going to take some time to get off I go ask first...

Re: Salvage yard pictures

franks is kind of a tricky place to get to if you have never been there before, they are on the edge of town down a dead end road back by the landfill you will know when you are getting close because all of the sudden the yard starts to take over the road... also there is netlands and tri pack just off the intersection of hwy 169 and hwy 3, they both have lots of old stuff tri pack will let you pick you're own parts but netlands wont and he is high priced and kind of wishy washy

I really don't remember looking at it. All of the Chevy ones were pretty bad. If you don't find a good core support there I have a couple of them. It has been a while since I looked at them but it seems like one of them was pretty decent.
