i'm always "plugging" the site because it is a dodge specific salvage yard and you can get just about anything you need for a dodge truck from there. i don't know about where you're at but all the junk yards around here are pretty dry in the dodge area. if any of them get a dodge on the lot it'll be stripped of any parts that are worth getting within a day or two.
yep. I was at a junkyard a few weeks ago. Saw a Ram they were working on putting in the yard, but he said it'd be prob a week or so before it was in there. So, it's prob been there a week. I went today.. It has no engine, tranny, 4x4, hoods, front fenders, tailgate, and half the interior stuff is gone. It's completely stripped..in one week :\.

So much for finding gems in there..I might try a few others but eh.

I still have yet to check out the yard here. I think all of the 2nd gens in this town are still on the road, though.

I am in idaho, maybe the same in Oregon, but we use cinders/sand instead of salt on the roads during winter. I was in ILL for a few years and they used some serious salt, vehicles only a few years old had huge holes in them.

I can't get my slider open, so the clip is still good! LOL I would love for it to work, but I don't want to force and break something.

I live in Central Texas. The Junkyards are FULL of Dodge Rams like ours. Most of them are in PERFECT shape. And I havent ever really seen a "rusty" car down here. There was a mid 70's mustang 2 that was pretty bad, It was from Corpus Christi (the coast)

If you northern guys need something that isnt rusted and want to pay for shipping, PM me. I dont mind.

The Factory lug nuts SUCK! thats not really a junk yard thing, the covers always fall off and they are so easy to strip.

Our local junkyards got alot of Dodge Rams from the Cash for Clunkers thing. Freakin Obama.
