I've been to All-American Classics in Vancouver and have both good and bad to tell.

They do have lots of selection and lots of stickers (blackberry vines) and I was able to get what I wanted from them - a good gas tank and a few other small trinkets.

The downsides: 1. Expensive. I paid $100 for the gas tank which I thought was about double of what it should have been. 2. They won't let you remove the part - their yard guys have to do it. And, when they removed my gas tank, they undid the straps and just let it drop, putting a crink in the fill tube. Fortunately, I had an extra fill tube at home so it wasn't a problem for me. That crink would not have happened if they would have let me remove the tank.

I've only been there on nice, warm, sunny summer afternoons (with the stickers!). I don't know if the yard is nice or muddy in the winter.

Randy,
For countless years up here the local Pick n pull was a waste of time if you needed a gas tank. They punched them full of holes to quick drain all the gas. Now they advertise "may or may not be punctured". Duhhhhh and prices are going up too.
