i'm looking for an old prop shaft for a project. i need the universal joint, don't really care what it came off so long as not too big, something from a pickup would be fine.

 

i've never really seen a scrap yard in these parts, what happens to smashed up cars? i know someone is recycling the parts somewhere?

 

thx steve

 

KM 12 on the Bang Na Tratd highway on the left going towards Pattaya

there are several large wracking places of all cars and parts.

this is the phuket forum, so i would think a bit far

I've never seen one either.  Do they even exist here, or are they just in BKK? For a solution, usually a local garage will know where to find a part if you can show them what you need.

yep, i think you are right, just find a car repair place and they probably know someone who knows someone. 

 

i do know a scrap place in surat thani as you are coming in from phuket but that's a bit too far

On the road to khao Lak there are a couple of places with car and pickup wrecks out front of their businesses

Make it a pleasant drive open monday to saturday

i just found a place, on chao faa west, about 1km north of wat chalong, across from the home mart. they have a ton of car body panels out front but if you go inside, plenty of scrap parts.
