Topic: Goin to pick-n-pull tomorrow

[84xcab]

Does anybody know what I can expect to pay for f150 rears for my toyota? Any other cheap things that would be good to pick up while im there? I have to get a tailight and marker light so I have the tools for those, but what other tools should I bring for the springs or any thing else?

[jimbo74]

bring all the tools you think you need.... i would say 2 of each, big wrenches.... like 14-22



as far as price, i would wait to find them from someone on here, pick n pull charges too much for springs, i have heard between $50-$80 per pair

in Arkansas  we pay anywhere from $30-50 a pair

30-50 a pair sounds about right for f-150 leaves here (wyoming) too

[jimbo74]

out here, its $40 a side..... unless you hit them up on a half price weekend or something

I always take my whole toolbox.  You never know what you'll see and you want to get, or remember that you need.

Ya, ill probably wait on the springs. Ill see if they have a 1 piece back window and tailgate, or at least a tailgate handle. Id take my whole tool box but it has 250+ pieces in a box with molded slide out drawers and so its heavy and awkward to carry

the pick n pulls here have wheelbarrows and carts

Backpacks work well

If your P-N-P is anything like the ones in California you will be lucky to find a Toyota PU. Once in a while we get some and by the time I get there all that is left is the carcess.

Ya, I live in Lincoln. Everything there is pretty much completly stripped, but hey never know what you can find.

That sounds about right.  I bought my f150s on a half price day and I think I paid $40ish.  I think all I needed was a 3/4" (19mm should work) wrench and socket on a 1/2" ratchet.  I'm pretty sure all the bolts/nuts are the same size.  I take my whole tool bag now, but...

  I used to put the most popular toy size tools in my camelback but got tired of it getting so dirty!

[YotaJosh]

If I remember correctly, all I needed is a 21mm wrench, and a breaker with a 21mm deep socket to snatch the F150 springs. Finding a truck without the bed makes things super simple. Be sure to take some penetrating oil or PB blaster.

Be sure to keep the ubolts and plates, makes for a cheap ubolt flip kit.

Sweet, thanks guys. I think ill just hit em up next friday for half off parts throughout the yard

here in chico ca they want 25$ a piece for any springs you pull. not sure about where u live but the nice thing about them here is that there are already tons of fords and chevys that have the axles gone and are already blocked up so all u have to do is find a good pair and pull the shackle bolts and use a sledge to knock em of and your good ta go
