Does anyone have a list of salvage yards for classic tuck parts in Austin TX? I googled it but there are a lot of places and can't easily tell what they have. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | welcome to the bolt, you might also check into the welcome center and let the whole world know you found the best site in the world... junk yards are like a good fishing hole......some are kept secret, lol...........not from Austin but they are rare around here..... you can also find a lot of parts from various vendors on our site... here is just one of them

Another option is to look around Austin for some car clubs that cater to the truck crowd. They may know of a few yards that can help. IF it not large body parts ebay is a universal source for older parts.
