I miss scouring the scrapyards.I used to love to go on cold drizzly days when nobody's around to bug ya.There's nothing worth checking out around here anymore .with all the regulations they can't keep the old cars around.And they can't let you just look anymore either.You gotta have something specific in mind and you go straight to the vehicle get your part and don't go wandering off,Bummer...

you should grab the front UCA, A arms and all that off that Duster, unless its not disk

And there's an 8 3/4 under that Fury
 
The duster is drum,the fury must have been changed it is 7.25.T he valiant has lots of good parts,like that hood stainless, its almost show quality(little buffing needed)
 
The only thing I hate more than the cold is bees. If no snow its a good time to go to junkyard.
 
We have an all Mopar yard about an hour or so away from me and the guy that runs it is pretty cool. Doesn't charge an arm and a leg for parts and you get to find and pull all your own parts. There is no bad day when going there...........

I'd buy what you can and just resale it here on Fabo for what you paid maybe + a little cash like 5 or 10$ for your time.
 
You should buy the floor hump, clutch pedals, clutch rods, z-bar, and steering column off that Duster. Also that aluminum /6 is cool and very rare. Watch out for corrosion that could render it useless.
 
Snakes are MUCH easier to deal with in this weather!! Bees and wasps, too.
