Looking for Junkyard In or Near Texas

I am working on 2 1969 Oldsmobile 442s. They are both works in progress and are still a ways from being fully restored. I need black 1969 stock seat belts for the whole car (bucket seats) and the 2 springs that go on the bucket seat tracks under the driver's seat (for the adjuster lever and the bigger spring to move the seat). I have heard that there may be an Oldsmobile junkyard somewhere in Oklahoma but I don't know if this is true. Are there any all Oldsmobile or GM junkyards with cars from the 60s/70s? And where are they if so?

If anyone could help me locate a junkyard with Olds parts it'd be a great help as I'm somewhat stuck on my project without these parts.

Thanks

You will be lucky to find something older than 95 in that or any other wrecking yard around here. Ebay , swapmeets, or message boards will be the best bet.

Thanks for your ideas. I might check out the website of that GM junkyard, but anything newer than about 72 probably won't work for my cars. Like I said, I heard from a friend of a friend that there's an Olds salvage yard somewhere in OK, but I don't know for sure, or even a general area where it might be. I'd love to find a junkyard with 67-72s in it.

Thanks a bunch for the help I think I'll try to call them when I get the chance. Hopefully they'll have some older cars because the parts I need can't be bought NOS or reproduction or even aftermarket.

Thanks again for finding them

Gary is a good dude. He knows what is has so don't expect to steal anything but he may have what you need.

I'm sure he does. I have not been to his place out of town. He used to near downtown dallas before he got tired of the city messing with him and moved out.
