yeah, all the junk yards around here wont let you just go hunting. You have to deal with the brain surgeon working the counter there. In fact, junk yards around here are fairly useless. I've only gone to one once and actually got what i needed

One time the shaft for my light switch broke, so i went to the junk yard to get one. It took me literally 15 minutes to explain to the guy what i needed. He kept thinking i wanted the entire lightswitch. Then he got it into his head in think that every lightswitch made by gm ISNT the same, so he kept telling me that he didnt have the switch for the exact year and model i needed. I finally broke down and just begged him to give me ANY gm light switch he had laying around, which he did after alot of bitching. I pulled the shaft out of it and held it in front of his face and said "this is what i need you fat pr!ck".

So honestly...i really dont like dealing with junk yards anymore.
