Any reliable junk or salvage yards?

I backed my truck into a concrete barrier, replaced the bumper with an off roading one which I was already going to do. But the bed side needs replaced as well. I contacted LKQ for a 6 foot bed panel side and they quoted me 450 but it had to be shipped from out of state and painted. I might as well buy a new one for 600ish because I have a professional painter hook up who will do it only for supplies and like 40 bucks.

However I much rather would have a matching panel from a yard that I can just bolt on, other than LKQ anyone suggest any other junk or salvage yards?

 

You can try Alma Imports.

 

you could try certifit or check in the long travel thread (maybe someone got new glass recently)

 

Yea, post a WTB thread in the classified section for people that moved to glass. I'm sure some of them probably have bedsides just rotting away on the side of the house.

 

Aara.com.. I've had good luck with certified too

 

Check with places that sell utility and flatbeds. They usually install and keep the factory bed.

Auto Safety House on 19th Ave & Buckeye has them standing along their loading dock, and i believe that there is another business just south of I-17 on 19th Ave that has beds setting on racks.

 

this, i get lots of stuff from them for my taco. 1st gen though.



also try the long travel section as lots of people are ditching their beds for fiberglass

try car-part.com also they search all junk yards

 

Tried them and found they have 1 in stock in Yuma, just emailed them. Not sure if it is damage because it was a class C description which means it was marked down for some reason with no price. Finding a matching color bed panel is a nightmare, might have to start looking at the junkyards next and wait to snatch one of these up if it means not having to get it painted.
