Ok, fun’s over for the day. I didn’t get anything! Lol

But I’m sure that I’ll get replies tonight with people saying, grab this, or grab that.

I’ve grabbed a few spare relays and fuses to have as spares!

It's a shame Pick N Pulls have so many trucks that Amateurs ruin parts on, at least here they do. If you don't get there the day they haul it in, good stuff is gone or ruined. They have a Row 52 free program that emails you when a truck you are looking for comes in. Just have to sign up for it. I know everyone doesn't have access to Pick N pulls, but if you have one close it helps.

True! I can’t tell you how many engines had something from the top end pulled leaving the rest of the engine exposed to the elements and ruined

Back in my twenties I worked about 4 years for a dismantler and learned a bit about the right way to remove stuff without damaging it. Makes it hard to see stuff just cut or ripped out. But it's a crap shoot anyway. Nice of you, clgodwin79 to give a heads up to people that you are going to where parts might be. Thanks.

PART'S!!!!!!!

I didn’t even buy anything. But it cost $4 for both my son and myself to get in. We spent a couple of hours and literally walked every aisle. I can’t think of a better or cheaper way to spend a day.

I did run into another OBS enthusiast while I was there. Actually 2.

But the one guy knew something that I didn’t. Apparently they made something like a HD version of the 4WD 1500. It came with a 12 bolt rear end, and obviously was 6 lug based on the 4x4.

Anyway, his truck is a 2WD but he’s converting it over to 6 lug now and has a bolt in ready 12 6 lug rear with 3.73’s. Of course it’s drum brakes, but that’s something that I never knew and that’s a great find on that rear end. I think he paid like $80 for the whole thing. Pretty amazing deal!

The OBS trucks in my local pull a part, don't stand a chance. As soon as they put the out, people are on them like a swarm of bees, pulling parts.
