Tell me about it. I went to get a distributor for my moms car last week, almost 60 bucks total. Wtf brand new they are 90 bucks and I wouldn't have driven 70 miles round trip and 20 in gas, wouldn't have sat out in 96 degree heat suffering to get it out and all the cuts I got from it because I had limited tools. Plus it would've been brand new. Last time I go to pick n pull. Is rather buy it off ebay if I'm going to buy used for way less than half of what pick n pull charges.

Yeah,Pick n Pull's prices are laughingly ridiculous nowadays.They charged me a god damned core charge on a bumper cover too.It used to be a cool place but now i feel ripped off every time i go there. Most of those cars they got for almost free too.Theyve really started scamming and hustling their customers.Not cool.

I go all the time. Just gotta know what to look for. The big stuff find somewhere else though. The rest like a dist stuff it in a big jacket and walk out. Well then again in 96 degree weather a big jacket might look funny.

Pick N pull is a rip of period which is why I take as many little things I want/need in my pockets N pay for the big stuff. Last time I went some lady found a pair of shoes in the trunk of a car N asked them if she can take them N they charged her like $7 for them like really how can you charge someone for some fucked up ass abondoned shoes you had no clue were there.

While I agree, this is why the prices are so high.

Pick n Pull is still pretty cheap. If i remember right you can pick up an 8.8 4.10 disc brake LSD rear axle for about $160 out of an explorer. Nice little swap for classics.
not to mention, they sell their taillight bezels for 96-98s for I believe 8 bucks? they're considered Misc. trim pieces. so if anybody is thinking of blacking out their stock ones. go grab a set from pick n pull and keep your stock ones the same color just in case you decide to go back.

i fu look down trhe isles the rows are numberd and refreshed close to every month. so grab your parts stuff them in a fresh row in th etrunk. dismantle and break anything that would want anybody to go in that truck, u now have a personal semi safe locker. come back on half day sale. a 5 lug 4 wheel disc swap is now close to 500 bucks at pick and pull. fox body on here selling parts is a great hook up!
