The Vancouver WA pick and pull has a 1982 Datsun regular cab 720 with a decent looking flatbed on it, the sides are crap but the actual flatbed part looks decent, they said $220.ish out the door, if I needed a flatbed I would probably buy that one, I didn't measure it, but with stock type wheels with dually adapters it might be wide enough for a dually.

Didn't have my camera with me, first time I have been to the wrecking yard in a long time.

Does anyone have experience with that yard?

 

I stay away from all those Auburn yards for the past 15 years after many unfavorable visits. Rude employees, they pull parts, very overpriced.

 

Apologies,

 

I have never been to any yards up that far North of me. I do agree though that many "close to the city" yards are just that, expensive, rude, and I hate closed yards. 

 

I just happen to run across the ad, I did not notice at first but it has been up for almost a month. That usually means picked over.

They always post the picture of the vehicle when it first arrived to bait you into coming down and finding a stripped out shell.

 

Pick & Pull does that too. Always check your dates and expect it to be picked over. 

 

You never know though, sometimes even a blind dog finds a nice bone. I have hit gold for my Z before.  :thumbup:

After 4 weeks in the yard, I was surprised to find most of a 260Z up near Lake Stevens. (that car has now been crushed) ya it does happen but also the good parts often go within 24 hours. If a car has a sought after engine or head, most likely someone will show up the first day and take the entire engine.

I went to Pick & Pull in Tumwater today, they had a 85 Maxima Wagon that was mostly intact. It has only been on the yard since Tuesday.

I grabbed the rear disc's and a few other bits. 

 

They also has an 84 pick up that was more picked over.

I only grabbed the shifter that was laying in the cab.

 

This weekend is a half price sale. I am going back to return some cores.

If anyone has a request for something I would consider working something out.
