Hey Folks,

I just finished my quarterly visit to some local salvage yards. There are a
few Christmas gems out there for those who call or visit them, in the
Portland, Oregon area.

The rainy season is upon us here for the winter, and I wanted to pass the
info on, before they get too wet.

Happy holidays,

Cheers,
dave :)

U Pull It. (5 locations in Portland, Oregon area).

(503) 658-3191

Sunnyside (near Boring, OR)

About five, 1980 - 1985 Vanagons. Some good parts left. Homemade curtains in
the 1980. 1982 diesel, camper (Riviera)

I've scored a lot of parts real cheap from them (i.e. real trailer hitch for
$5). I've also scored some pricey little parts, for free! I've waited in
line with a rear sliding window latch, when I made it to the front of the
line, the sales guys said "you can have the for free, just for waiting in
line for so long!". Schweet!
