Junk Yard Trip

Yesterday my friend John and I went to the U-Pull and Pay salvage yard in north Denver ( www.upullandpay.com ). They have an online inventory that gives you an idea of what whether or not you will find certain parts. It works pretty well because you pay a 2$ entrance fee and they provide you with a wheelbarrow to carry things in and you can spend as much time as you want scavenging parts. John needed a relay for his cherokee, which he found. I found an idle air control for my wifes Metro and a Brake Light for her brothers Contour. For the Highboy... not as much luck. They had a 1976 f-150 on the online inventory that interested me until I found it. It was destroyed! I think it spent a few too many weekends at the WalMart parking demolition derby. I was able to find a brake light fixture and a headlight mounting ring that were in good enough shape but that was it. I found a battery tray to protect from corrosion and an antenna off of a GM car and an antenna wire from an import suv of some kind. The things I really wanted to find were a tailgate, a bench seat (or buckets), and a spare tire. Next time I guess.
