Any Pick-N-Pull Junkyards near Asheville, NC?

[1987Comanche]

This is my first post here although I've been surfing this site a lot since I got my '87MJ in April. She's an '87 2WD, AMC 150, 5 speed, Dana 35 with 177K (had 172K when I got her). The body was pretty decent but she needed driver's floors, an oil pan, some wiring, and a handful of other parts (alternator, etc) but she runs pretty well.

I recently moved from NY to NC and have yet to find a U Pull it junkyard around here. Meg always needs something and I had a great yard in Auburn, NY that actually produced another tan Comanche shortly after I got Meg. If anyone knows of any good junkyards between Asheville and Spartanburg, SC please let me know.

 

Thanks

I know of a few. I will have to get my list and i can post the ones i can think of. I'm originally from brevard and have alot of extra parts. What are you looking for?? I may have it and ill be up that way Sat. Let me know and ill post some that i know of later. But off the top of my head theres 2 in columbia SC that i could try to grab some parts for you from. Plus Greenville SC Has one IIRC that was good. And i had heard of a Jeep junkyard near G-ville also. Let me check some stuff out for you.

Did you find a good source of parts around Greenville? I live about 20 mins from Spartanburg so about a hour and 1/2 from Greenville.

How close (or far) are you guys from Richmond? I know for a fact that Raleigh/Durham is exactly 2 hours from here. There are two U-pull 'yards here, both owned by the same company. If any of you guys want to come up some weekend, I'd be glad to be a tour guide for ya.

Right now I don't need too much except the top cover for the air cleaner assembly and the front of the exhaust system (pipe from manifold to the cat). I welded the current system back together when it broke at the flange but it probably needs to be replaced. I'm really just trying to figure out what's out there that I can pick from. I also like walking around looking for stuff that I didn't know I needed until I found it (e.g. the Eldorado seats I put in my old Isuzu pickup).

Raleigh is about 4 hrs from here. I'm not sure about Richmond but I'd guess perhaps 6 hrs.

[JOMJ87]

Didnt get to grab those places info from work today but i will tomm. As far as Richmond goes Columbia is about 2 hours from Spartanburg so thats not to much further from G-ville for you. The 1987 MJ i have the top of the air box if you want it. I had to eliminate min completely. How close are you to Mountain Home exit off 26 or maybe the airport?? I could meet you on the way to brevard with the air cleaner box top FOR FREE. I will get locations for you guys ASAP.

Sounds good. Yeah Colombia is about 2 hours from me, Where is CMC at? You haven't strip all the parts from there have you?

[JOMJ87]

No i havent went to get any but i know they have alot of XJs and atleast 2 MJs from searching on Carpart. I also called them to verify. One is located west columbia and the other is in Lexington. here's Addys and the columbia on a map I couldnt find exact addy.

I found a CMC u pull it in Beech Island SC... so there is another one in Columbia?

[JOMJ87]

The URL link shows the CMC in columbia and the other is in Lexington like the addy says. Those are the only 2 i know of because its the closest u-pull to me that i have found. CMC is really a huge scrap company so make sure the one at beech Island is a U-pull junk yard and not a scrap metal yard which could also be handy. :brows: They have a mian website for the CMC company also if you Yahoo it.

There's a pick and pull Full Size Jeep junkyard in Burnsville, NC. 1 hr N.E. of Asheville.

The owners wife (Jackie) has started collecting XJ's and MJ's as well. She has several of both to pick from. As well as every FSJ part you can think of. I got my MJ project from Jackie. ;)

 

Jake's FSJ Junkyard 828-675-0579

 

The p&p yards around Greenville are EXPENSIVE! You're better off getting the junk from one of the boards or listings at CL or the bay.

I called about a BBC engine...any 454. All of them wanted $1500 at least and several wanted a core.

:nuts:

 

 

What do you need. There are several 4x4 shops around here that keep parts for sale.

[1987Comanche]

Thanks for all the info. I'll give Jake's a call and perhaps head up there in the next few weeks. I'll also look at the links JOMJ87 sent and see what they had to offer.

JOMJ87: did you drive up past Asheville this past weekend? This is the first chance I've had to get online in a few days as the compressor in my Suburban locked up (pulley bearing). Since it's the familymobile I had to get it up and running first. I could really have used the air cleaner box though...oh well.

[JOMJ87]

Yeah i drove up to Asheville. don't care to ship it to you for whatever shipping costs. I might be able to send it with family but we will have to see.

[1987Comanche]

That's fine. The plastic tube running to the PCV system has been broken since I bought her so it won't kill me to wait. If you do end up making another trip up here let me know.

[JOMJ87]

NO problem and if you ever need parts let me know what and ill see if i have it. I knda got a mini junkyard of drivline parts.
