Junkyard Trip for Alt & Fusebox

[Apache Bronco]

So yesterday I went to my 2 local wrecking yards to look for a G3 alt and a fusebox with relays to use for accessories.
1st place had only 1 G3 on a 6cyl Mustang, $35. Any fusebox I wanted for $25-35. Most were missing ato fuses (thieves!). No time to pull anything.
2nd place wanted $45 for alt and $55 for fusebox. Didn't have time to even walk through the yard, but at those prices, wouldn't have anyways.
Came home and looked at new fuseboxes. Used ones come wired already, bonus. Worth extra for wiring.

They pull all the fuses out of the fuseboxes at the yards here in Phoenix for some reason before they put the cars out. At least that's been my experience in my many years of picking here.

Which yards did you visit?

Phoenix historically has been a gold mine of junkyard parts - in the last decade, the gold has flipped to the other side of the equation as the yard owners think everything they have is gold plated.

Frank's and A-1, both in AJ. It was late yesterday, I may try other yards in Mesa on Sat.
