:laugh:

I paid only $45 for a V6 3rd member at the local u-pull-it  :talkingn: "CAR" 3rds are cheaper than "TRUCK" 3rds and they are stooopid  ;)

a local junkyard once tried to hit me for $150 on an AFM and air pipe.
I laughed so hard that I was invited to never return in a very ungentlemanly fashion

Guy told me he wanted $1500 for a complete 22re out of a 86 2wd truck, When I asked him how many miles he said over 250K, then he said he was told by the guy that junked the trunk that it was recently rebuilt, I asked if I could drop the pan & pull the valve cover & they denied me. I saw it there about 2-3 days later with a $500 price tag on it. Chico U-Serve about 4-5 years ago.

850 bucks for a complete 84 Toy front axle.  Here is the kicker, I had to buy it sight unseen!!  I just walked out laughing.

How about $300 for an IFS power steering box.  I know the guy so I bought mine for $100 bucks.

Was just kind of checking out a yard I had seen. Asked him about a front 60. "Yeah I just got one in yestersay. $1800......and that's a pretty good price if you check around.But I have had a couple of guys calling on it already so I don't think it will last too long" Then I asked him about an sm-465. "sure I have one, not sure of the condition but I could let it go for $1000." I said thanks and drove off laughing. Within 6 months I boutght a front 60 for $500 This was about 4 yrs. ago when 60s were going for $700 high end and sm 465s were probably $75 for one in good shape. Last year I bought my latest front 60 for $800.  :hammerhead:

a kingpin ford 60 can go for up to $1500 nowadays, especially if its a '78-79 one.  $1000 for a 465 is insane though any way you put it.  i think we've got a couple of them dumped behind some oil drums at work.

the most outlandish quote i've had was $450 for a third member at 410 auto recycling(a toyota place in buckley).  i've never bought anything there, i always see stuff turning up on car-part.com at the place, usually at greatly inflated prices.  once saw a toy dually axle on there listed for $1000!

as for times i've gone to the junk yard, i had to pay $15 for a throttle linkage for a 22R a week ago.  most of the places here are really reasonable.  one even has SET prices on the wall, so if a d60 front turned up i could have it for $300 :love:

Life . . . should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a attractive and well preserved body --- but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, beer in the other in the other,body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming, "WOW - What a ride!"
