    Your problem isn't the problem. Your reaction is the problem.

    Hey Motorhead,

    Great find. I texted him and he said he doesn't have the roll pan.

    Please check when you go. Thanks!

    Lol, still on a hunt? Did you ever find out who made it for Dodge? That might be more of a broad starting point

    If I was gonna start my own "salvage yard" I would consider something simular. All Dakotas and Durangos sounds cool with me. Why not deal in something you're familar with right??

    Walking around that junk yard would feel a bit like Christmas morning or that Saturday after Thanksgiving in 1997 when some friends and I went to one of the biggest record/cd conventions in the country.

    I'm more interested in how rust free these vehicles prove to be.

    Ok, so I made the trip today.....
    First of all, it's by appointment only.
    The man you will be doing business with is Gary
    He has about 50-60 Durangos and Dakotas with it being about 90% Durangos.
    He said the Dakotas don't last long as he showed me what was left of one that had only been there two weeks.
    I bought a pile of parts off of the man today and will return to buy another pile in two weeks.....so here is the hidden jem....lol if ya need sumthin then p.m. me and I will do some shopping for ya.
    Now for you Yankees or Northerners this is where it gets good. Take a close look at the photos of the under side of his fenders from his trucks. He is geting these from Georgia and Florida and it shows. If you are looking for rust free parts here you go. I could not believe how rust free everything was that he had. Pictures follow....

    I did take the time to ask Gary how he ended up with his Dak-Dur "yard" (you owe me big time Steve) and he told me the story:
    He had bought a nice used silver Durango that his wife drove all the time. After the wife having had numerous accidents he decided to buy a parts vehicle of the same color. Neighbors soon began to make offers for parts off of the "parts" vehicle sitting in his drive and the rest is history.

    Yeah, he even told me bout a a guy from Ontario who came down this time last year and bought 8 rust free beds. Didn't care if they had dents or dings just snatching up rust free beds.

    Enjoy some pics...

    This is the underside of the drivers fender below the battery box



    Here is the underside of a passenger fender laying on the ground



    I finally find a nice red rust free tailgate and a good uncracked grill. Scored two wheels with centers for $40 each.


    Take a good close look at the lower seam in that tailgate....there is NO rust.



    This pic is of the floor pan-to-firewall seam behind the passenger side splash guard, just aft of the front wheel.

    Best. Junkyard. Ever. Damn I wish that was closer because as soon as I'm done finishing renovating a house I'm going to have tons of spare time, freed up cash, and wanna start upgrading the truck again. One of the suckiest things is when I go to my local self pull yards and find absolutely nothing.
