Grit dog,
What do you mean, " ...send the guy a check...". With security measures these days I don't think anyone is going to give me their address, or mine in the open on the internet. You never know what kind of whack job is watching. The nut might come buy and rob your ass. Have you ever bought stuff off this site from anyone? How'd ya'll do it? I've been try to find out how it's done, safely. Well, you'd think it would be easy, but in this part of the South we have tons of dirt track truck races and mud bogging going on and Chevy trucks are very popular. Camaro's are real popular to chop up for dirt track racing as well and you can't find a single one of those trucks or cars in any wrecking yards, believe me I've looked.
I have found pickup trucks with steering columns but they are not what I need, like they're missing the shift on the column and are for a floor shift, or they'd not be tilt and I have to have tilt because of my physical disabilities. I have the wrecking yard web sites on my favorites and I search for these trucks coming in all the time. When I talk to the wrecking yard guys and ask them when they come in. They say, yeah every once in a great while they do but they're not in the yard but a few days and then they are gone. If any have showed up I just missed them.
Let me think...there are seven yards in my town. Three are real big ones, and three you can't get into because they are used by the repair shops and the public are not allowed in, nor can you ask for parts from them. And one is pretty far out but they only carry big truck and big rig truck parts and no automobile or light truck parts. Pissy isn't it. And I've been having bad transmission problems for months now and it's starting to act up again and I'm going to have to down it for a few days, as soon as my rotator cup problems in my shoulders backs off, and there's no telling how long it will take. So it's been hard to get out as often as I needed to.
