New in MO

[army98]

I'm new at this so please be tolerant.
I won a M-1031 in Oct and waited 30 - 35 days ( paperwork) to pick it up. I took a train from St Louis Mo to West VA to pick it up. It was in Machanicsburg PA. After working on the truck for 2 days (Bent Driveshaft bad fuel ect.) I drove it back to St Louis Mo. Apx 818miles non stop. (Bad flywheel bad starter so could not shut it off.) It was the longest convoy I've been on in a long time. My truck had apx 13000 miles showing on it when I got it I use it as a daily driver and it is now at 17800 ish. Runs great but allways needs work "glow plugs, glowplug controll mod .... " Does anyone know of a good salvage yard in MO? I need alot of parts.

I'll try to post pic's later, also I use my truck for work so I might not keep it all stock ( I might have to remove some hardware)

Welcome to SS.

Sorry I don't know of any salvage yards here myself, but perhaps someone will chime in. I don't really follow the smaller stuff so much.

Good to see another "local" guy here.

You proved to have some real guts on that recovery! Any pics?

I forgot to say ... My truck sat not running for 18 months or more before I drove it home, also it would not go over 50 mph all the way home. yea I was determined ....did not have as much as a flat tire though...
