Post by: jerry79 on August 15, 2005, 06:13:00 pm: Hey Craig,

I have a list a mile long of needed parts so here goes...

Right now my 74 is a step side and I'll be needing the bedsides and tailgate. Unless I can find a good fleet side short bed, I'de rather go fleetside anyway. Do you know of any around here in decent condition? Also I can't find any junk yards that have my bedsides and Chevy Duty is about the cheapest at $350 each .

Also need both doors and a hood.

I've been looking a Certifit because they are local and I have decent luck with their pannels, but have heard some horrible things form others.

Anyway any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks
Jerry

Post by: toplessblazer on August 16, 2005, 12:23:00 am: I was hooking up a phone the other day and the house nextdoor was a chevy junkyard. There were about 4 or 5 blazers in different stages of tear down and 3 or 4 trucks and a couple of suburbans, and a whole backyard full of "treasure". I didn't talk to the guy so I don't know his intentions with his stuff but I can tell you how to get there and you can check it out.
The house is in east mesa almost to AJ. Take University east towards the mountain and go past Sossoman rd. Turn south on 84th place and go down the street a little ways and trust me you can't miss it, all the trucks are in his front yard and driveway and it even spills out into the street. Good luck

Post by: jerry79 on August 16, 2005, 05:25:00 pm: Thanks for the help guys, I'll take a drive to the house on University. Almost forgot about AIM they dont have my bed parts but they might have the other stuff. Grumpys, Impala Bobs, and Ricks don't have any of my parts (already checked) and the junk yards are picked dry as far as beds. So if any of you guys run across a bed let me know.

thanks for all the help

Post by: ccb on August 17, 2005, 07:24:00 pm: Chris,
You have good deals on stuff. But to me its the shipping costs that make buying from online guys the deal breaker on some stuff. Compaired to the local resto guy where I can touch it check it out for damage and so on.

Post by: shaved80 on August 27, 2005, 05:32:00 pm: great find at sossoman/university, i went there and was surprised, tons of stuff, no one was home though so i left a note with my number
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: jerry79 on August 27, 2005, 09:18:00 pm: Same thing happened to me, went there and no awnser so I left my number last weekend. Still no call though, let me know if he calls you back.

Well i thought I found a bed out there on Lower Buckeye but went to look at it, it was in worse shape than mine. Guess I'm being too picky???? Thinking about just paying the shipping to get my stepside bedsides, maybe ill order my hood and doors at the same time to possibly save on some shipping. I dont mind shipping costs on the smaller parts, but when it gets this big it really adds up, oh well.

Thanks
Jerry

Post by: ccb on August 28, 2005, 12:19:00 pm: There is a bed off main and Sossaman in a fence in area its not a step side I think it was a full size. Is that what your looking for?
Remember Classic Indurstries is in Ca. A lot closer to get part shipped from?

Post by: shaved80 on September 03, 2005, 01:07:00 pm: has anyone heard anything about street beat customs in phoenix? it's custom stuff of course, just wondering the quality of the parts they sell
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: toplessblazer on September 03, 2005, 01:42:00 pm: I don't know what all they sell but I have heard great things about the sliding rag top sunroofs from this place. They have had "how to" articles in different magazines. (Truckin, Lowrider) So I would guess they are a trustworthy place to deal with.
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: ccb on September 03, 2005, 02:19:00 pm: Never heard of them. Who else sell custom part in PHX for trucks? My son is picking up a 88-89 truck from his grand father. So where is the newer truck stuff in town.

Craig
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: shaved80 on September 03, 2005, 08:09:00 pm: that place on main and extension was great!!! i paid $35 and got a 50+ lb solenoid, glove box, headliner, and the trim along the top by the headliner, and the chrome trim that goes around the grille, i'm gonna go back tomorrow and see what else i can find
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: ccb on September 04, 2005, 04:28:00 pm: Its a great place, I pick up a couple of brand new tires and rims for $35 a pieces. can't beat it. They have more than one yard. they bought up a bunch a round town.

Craig
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: shaved80 on September 04, 2005, 05:24:00 pm: they only charged you $35? i asked about getting 4 stock steelies with crappy tires and they said $50 each
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: ccb on September 05, 2005, 12:30:00 am: Weird board crash when I sent the E- mail reply
Hope this is not a repeat, anyway the tires I got were for my wifes mini van. Still I feel them out on price I when out and got one tire took it up front and ask how much to work a deal. Wow! I can afford to get more stuff. If you look like you got money the will charge you more, just seem to be how they work. They don't seem to have a price book or pricing system for there parts. Its what ever they can get for there stuff.
I would not give more that 10 15 bucks for old rims and crappy tires. 50 bucks for newer tire and rims would be a good deal.

Post by: toplessblazer on September 13, 2005, 02:24:00 pm: I was over by that house that has all the chevy parts in east Mesa yesterday and actually got to talk to the guy that lives there. He said pretty much everything is for sale. He got a letter from the county saying he has to clean up his property and have this stuff out of site. He has already gotten rid of a few of the trucks that were sitting there and working on getting the rest out of there.If you guys are still interested now would be a great time to go see him. I scored a core support with wiring harness for the 89-91 blazer/suburban with the four little headlights for $40.00. Didn't really need it but couldn't pass it up for that.
He also said that if he doesn't have what you are looking for his buddy probably does.
Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: ccb on September 14, 2005, 12:56:00 pm: You got the guys number? and how do I get there? I'm not to far from where his is I'm Recker and Brown.

Picked up a 88-89 chevy truck for my son. so we will need some parts.

Title: Re: Parts in PHX?
Post by: toplessblazer on September 14, 2005, 07:02:00 pm: No I didn't get his number but here is how to get there. Take University east towards the mountain and go past Sossoman rd. Turn south on 84th place and go down the street a little ways and trust me you can't miss it, all the trucks are in his front yard and driveway. Not sure if he has any parts for the 88-98 body style but maybe his buddy does. He mainly has 73-87 stuff. What kind of stuff are you looking for?
