Default Salvage Sites for dodge

I am looking to buy a 4x4 dodge with the preferred year of 2002 with a blown motor of 4.7L. I have a 2wd that i want to strip down and throw in to a 4x4 chassis. I live in NY and with the locker and huge tires it still sucks driving in the snow. I want to find a wrecked 4x4 that i can strip my truck down and throw all the parts of mine into the wrecked one to get a good truck. i Want to start from scratchvand do a huge lift and all sorts of **** too. I have been searching a lot of sites but no luck. Your help is welcomed. thank guys.
O btw how do you add pics because i am not seeing the add pic button when i click on pics and albums tab in my profile. I must be not seeing it. thanks of the help!

Good luck, I recently hit a deer and am convinced that I am the first person in my county to wreck an 06-08 truck cuz I couldn't find shizot to fix my truck, I had to go custom on the grill, order a new bumper from the dealer (not as bad as you might think...was only $115...but the paint was $46) And slapped in fog lights instead of replacing the fog light(less) plug

Would it not be cheaper to upgrade your 2wd to a 4x4?

I got my cai from this guy, his proving is flexible. I almost bought his tranny.

He has the entire drivetrain & frame left from his 02.

Only about 3 hours from the border.

It all looks good but i am still out there hunting and searching. I would love to find something before winter rolls around here. I am finding these sites, but no luck. If i was to buy one up here its cost too much money. Its a pickup truck not gold lol. parents wanted to sell mine so i could just go to a new one, but 1 i don't want to make car payments and 2 you can't mod a new one with the Warranty. Let me know if you find anything guys thanks

I went to these guys for a steering knuckle because nobody local could help me. Not only was the pricing reasonable, but they sent the part right away and it worked perfectly!

Search kijiji.ca for Canadian second hand sales, I have seen some parts trucks listed cheap and it's not far from you.

Good luck
