Thanks

What are you looking for Jeff?  Most of the salvage yards now dismantle the cars and warehouse the parts. When I was young (A long time ago) we called them junk yards and we went in and removed our parts and paid on the way out.  There are a couple of "Pick and Pulls" still but environmental regulations have put most of them out of business. 

If I can assist in any way please feel free to contact me.

Check out "DBaer's Cadillacville" in Winlock Washington.
Not sure if he's still in business, but a good guy to deal with. Not a pick/pull, he doesn't like to have customers pull parts. Something about liability.

Really looking for a pick and pull place. Not really anything specific. When I was younger (yes, a long time ago too) I would just go wonder the yards and look around.
I will be in Seattle later this week and will have a little downtime. I don't know about you guys but sometimes my version of "fun" isn't the same as the rest of my family when on vacation.

Hi Jeff,
           If you happen to go to a junk yard could you ask if they have one of these brackets. It goes from the bell housing to the left exhaust pipe it’s for my 55 Fleetwood 60S. I will send you a pm with my phone number.
Thanks,
Bob Kielar

Spanaway, WA is a suburb outside of the Tacoma WA area.  There are a handful of salvage yards off of Mountain Highway E. (Highway 7) that you may want to check out.  Cut and paste this link: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS751US751&q=junk+yards+in+Spanaway+wa&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiN6I6j94LYAhUC4WMKHZO4AOwQvwUIJigA&biw=1536&bih=774

Back in the day, they had lots of classic cars to choose from but this may have changed.  Also, All American Classics in Vancouver, WA is a great yard:
