Where to buy classic interior parts?

[LBZ]

Starting to find lots of body parts are going extinct from gm for the classics. Can’t get most of the seat parts, lots of trim no longer available.

So where does a guy buy these from now? I need a drivers A pillar trim with Bose tweeter, seat cover soon, and a hood insulation pad.

Seat covers are available from various sellers is it cloth or leather?

What color is your interior? Sometimes the Junk yard or possibly Ebay for the pillars.

Hood insulation pad. Not sure if any one makes a replacement, So If dealer can not get it, then best of luck. They don't ship well. The OEM ones came in a big box to protect them.

Boneyards are your friend.

Sort of lol. The gmt800's in my local boneyards are totally stripped of anything I've looked for, probably five minutes after they landed... And one wanted to charge me $30 for a headlight switch!!! I can buy a new one for that!

 

[TheBac]

Man, thats harsh. My local picknpull has very reasonable prices. Headlight switch would be maybe $5-10.

It really runs the spectrum around my area. One yard wanted to charge me $200 for two ECMs, after charging me $10 for a TCM the week before, right up the road from them, literally, they charge $25 for ECMs. On the other side of the river, you hav the yard that wanted to charge me $30 for the headlight switch, but I got the airbag computer with connectors for $25 . And down the road from them, I can get ECMs for $20, and if I am looking to grab a few connectors, if the right guy is at the booth, he's typically like get outa here .

Same Problem here In Comeyfornia since LKQ/Pick Your Part bought out Ecology and some other small yards. They also raised the prices on the pull it yourself stuff as well as changed the rules On what and how we can purchase things. Such as you can purchase a cylinder head separately but if someone removes a cylinder head from an engine and the engine is not complete, they don't care. They will only sale it to you a complete engine price. They also try and shove the optional warranty down your throat.

Corporate will no longer take calls or communicate with anyone from the outside regarding any issues. Even the managers that we have spoken too at a few of the yards state they are losing money with the new changes in policy and pricing. Some of them have been kind enough to let us ask for them Specifically if there is something we want like an engine that is not complete and they will reduce the price accordingly to make the sale. but that is only at a few of the yards and they have to be working that day.

I have thrown good parts in the trash can at their yards when they want to charge too much.

Wow...... That's just... wow... such a waste.

Yeah.... I have only purchased a few "must have" things since the changes were made.

Well, it's like the last time, after getting the TCM for $10, they wanted to charge me $200 for two ECMs... I was like yeah, NOPE, definitely don't need them that bad... they probably got tossed in a scrap bin for 50 cents each since they didn't know what they came off of... yet had they charged the $25 each from up the street, I would have worked with that... On the bright side, I got some exercise for the $2 entry fee lol.

I used to pay about $50 But I still considered that reasonable here. It went up to $100 plus core and garbage... Nope! I'm out. I can get them online preprogrammed and I know they should be good or they will swap it out. At the pull it your self, They will refund or exchange but I have to do all the work...

One thing I noticed is the dark charcoal colored parts (like Apillars and other plastic trim) is a slightly different shade on the 99-02 vs 03-07 trucks.

Not many junkyards around me with stuff I need. There’s a few folks anywhere from 4-9 hrs drive one way that have stuff but nobody is willing to ship. I need to run my code through that thread that’s here somewhere to see what my color is actually called.

It’s leather interior. And I’m going to buy a cushion as mines a bit clapped before they go extinct too.

Guess I just need to make an overnight drive somewhere and try to hit some of these dudes up.

I wouldn’t recommend their cushions. Bought one for my truck and it’s hard AF.

You just saved me a couple of bucks!

I need cushions for my 99 BAD. I’m hoping to redo the entire interior this spring or summer on that truck. Backseat, dash and door panels are the only things that won’t be touched probably. Everything else is coming out.
