Black Friday Alert

[pflaming]

Pick n Pull is runnning 1/2 price on everything purchased through Sunday.  I'm going to pick up a Cherokee rear axle with disc brakes tomorrow. Very inexpensive brake update for my suburban. 

You might give your salvage yards a call.

Sadly the only one near us closed a couple of years ago. Rent went to about $10,000 per month  from what I am told. They couldn't make it I guess.  Still a few yards near us but only one I know of has any older stuff. And then only back to the 80's or so.

So, do you think that I should tell my u-pull yard that they should/have to do a "price match" with yours

I actually went to the u-pull yesterday. 1st Saturday of each month is "bucket day".

$30 + tax for whatever "you can carry out" in a 5 gallon pail. There is a height limit of 36" (their counter height), and must fit in the bucket.

Early on when they started this (prior to modifying the policy) one of the yard guys told me that someone carried out an import trans-axle in/on a bucket. I also saw a couple of guys headed out with 3-4 buckets with all the stainless trim that they could carry from the vehicles in the "classic car" section.

One bucket day somebody got an engine into a wheelbarrow, and stuck a bucket near the oil pan. That did not pass muster, but it was a good try.
