I recently purchased an 83 suburban parts truck with an ATS turbo, gage cluster, tilt steering column, power windows and gearvendors overdrive that I will be swapping over to my m1028.

The front clip, radiator, hydroboost, and posibly 3/4 ton front 10bolt axle over to my 75 jimmy. Basicaly I will be stripping any and all usable/ sellable items from this truck.

Is there anywhere I can take the remaining carcass or anyone who would take it for some parts in exchange? I have (2) 6.2 diesels "the one in the burb is complete/ ac,starter,all acc." a good th400, np208, etc. etc.

How do you guys get rid off the miltary carcases?

I've always used them as a dumpster and filled them with other steel scraps untill full, then called the scrap man and they will pickup and pay you. Wayne

RE: scrap

Scrap is kind of high, If there are no usable parts, scrap it and try to get your $ back.

In CA, you're gonna need a junk slip unless you cut it up into small enough pieces that it can't be recognized as anything automotive.
My buddy just told me about a new FREE service called junkmycar.com, supposed to be nationwide. I guess you just make an appointment and they come get your car. Never used the service, just now heard about it.
Okay, just googled them and seems legit :shock: Found another one too, junk-car.org

And then it off on a slow boat trip to China, that's the one with no EPA laws. Wayne

RE: overs

Ooooh...H2 rims...

For the usable parts a $25 membership fee over on www.ColoradoK5.com would allow you to post parts on their for sale forums. LOTS of folks on there with 73-87(91) GM's and many are in your neck of the woods.
Definitely a good place to find and sell stuff.
