TO ANYONE IN ALBERTA CANADA

I just moved to Edmonton, and I was trying to find a wreckers, or parts store, that deals strictly in F-Body parts. I know in toronto, there was a place. So if anyone knows of a place such as this, or can recommend a place to buy used quality parts from I would appreciate it. Im specifically looking for a new rear end. I was quoted $1300 to put 3.73 and a posi in my rear end. Thats way more that what I want to pay. Well if I dont have to anyway.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The best place to go would be DAVID T'S. It is located at 11306-163 St and phone 454-3330.

He only deals with camaros/firebirds.

Good Luck.

David T's place has alot of stuff and they are strictly F-body but the a$$es almost NEVER return emails. When they do the last time I asked him for a complete rearend for my '83 Z28 he said...$1200 bucks. This guy is out to lunch. Also if you want a shocker, ask him how much interior pieces are. That will keep you laughing all day. What a joke.
Your best bet is to just call as many wrecks as you can to find the best deals. Those specialty places(all f-bodies) always charge and arm and a leg.

You got that right Jaret, they're nuts with pricing.

Yeah, they gave me some good quotes. I wish I had done the things I wanted to when I lived there.
