Default Can we create a salvage yard reference guide, or something similar?

If this already exists I apologize for not locating it. I am searching for a hub and I am now realizing that locating salvage yards that deal with this sort of stuff is tough. I do not look for many parts and have had no need to seek out salvage yards that deal in military parts. So I figured there must be others who have no idea where to go either. With all the people on here that do know where to go and who to call I was hoping we could put together some kind of reference chart or list and make it a sticky (or whatever you call it). I was hoping it could be a well organized list by state and not just a thread with random responses. Is this a complicated goal to accomplish?

How about a permanent sticky with a virtual salvage yard? Post what you got and people can PM you for parts.

Is that the "wanted" section? I know. This is a good idea, the sticky post idea. Can we do it?

I was thinking something that goes by state and lists the name of the yard and thier contact information. Maybe even what they specialize in. Some of the places I called this morning wanted the NSN number for the part. How the **** am I suppose to know that?

That is one reason I think we need some kind of list. That way we know who to contact instead of wasting hours looking for stuff in the wrong place.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the technical manual for the item the hub is on should tell you. That is if the item has a tech man, if not I feel your pain.

With LOGSA and SS having free ETM's for just about all surplused MV's, there isnt much good explaination for not having a TM at all. Heck, even Adobe Reader (the program you need to open up the ETM's) is free for the download

I dont buy that excuse.

Wow, you guys really know how to get off track. First off, I did not know I could get free TM's. Second, the trailer I am trying to get a hub for is not even mine, and third I was looking for a used hub. The guy could not even tell me if they had any trailers, at all. I am into military vehicles, but that does not mean I know all the little ends and outs like getting free TM's. Not knowing who to go to is another issue people in my position have to suffer through. That is why I think it would be good to have a list we all can refference when we are trying to track down parts.

Walking is easy once you know how.
