Where is a decent wrecking yard in Fresno area??
« on: Feb 05, 2011, 06:22:58 PM »
Somewhere that i can walk around in the yard.

Doesnt have to be a Toyota yard but a fair supply would be best.

Thanks

I'd have to think there's a pick and pull there, but you'll have to do the 10 second google search yourself  ;)

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

I was just by Whitaker's last week and it looked pretty deserted did they move or are they really good at hiding their stuff?

Whittakers closed like 5 years ago now, they were an awesome yard though.

Made the rounds to Pick a Pull and Pick a Part yesterday. Not much in the way of Toyota trucks at either.

The first did have an 85 Runner with a straight axle that had been stripped so just the housing was there. Did have a good selection of F150 rear springs but they wanted $140 for a set so I passed. LOL

Pick a part had a 95ish Runner that was fairly picked over but did have a power steering box still on it.

Crazy that with all the 89-95 trucks and Runners out there that between the two they had ONE!!

I did find the heater bypass valve I was looking for but other than that it was a waste but at least now I know.

Yeah you just never know. I found a V6 Tacoma with an E locker and an Fj80 once. DC'd all the electronics for the e locker but ran out of time and had to bail. I called the guys at Marlin so one of the guys could swoop it up. Went back out a month later and only found a couple of 2wd toys. Just never know...
