Ronbo Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Someone told me about a HDT salvage yard in Knoxville that had a lot of T2000's. Anyone have the information?

SuiteSuccess Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Ron, Ken (Roadfitter) and RandyA have been there a lot . Might contact them via pm. I live in the Knoxville area so if you need something specific might be able to check for you and pick it up. Just got back from Texas and traveling again soon so might be couple of weeks before I could get over there. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

SuiteSuccess Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Ron, On 8009 Rutledge Pike (11E) heading north from I-40. Left hand side. Believe the name is John Storey Truck salvage. (865) 525-9899 Located 4.62 miles North of Peterbilt of Knoxville, we are located right off of Highway 11E (Rutledge Pike). You can find us in the blue warehouse with our large white sign, the semis line the gates just waiting to be picked apart! Can't miss us! 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 You will have to go slightly past them on Rutledge Pike (if you are going north) and do a 180 turn at RVs For Less (DRV and Heartland dealer) they will then be on the right about 100 yards past the turn. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronbo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Ron, I live in the Knoxville area so if you need something specific might be able to check for you and pick it up. Just got back from Texas and traveling again soon so might be couple of weeks before I could get over there. Do you have a T2000? I need the large drawer inside with the rails. Mine is broken. I need the deflector that is mounted on the rear drivers side of the cab with the brackets. I need the cb antennae mount that fastens on the back of the cab. The front lower air dam under the hood. Fog light brackets. I also want to rob some switches from the cab. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil D Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I also want to rob some switches from the cab. Ronbo, if they're not able to get you what you need from the boneyard, for the seven plus years that I've owned mine, there's pretty much always been one or more sets of T2000 switches available on eBay. The refrigerator in mine is an honest to goodness truck refrigerator, but it apparently wasn't in the truck from the beginning because I had no refrigerator switch on the dash. A friend hooked me up with a Metri-Pack pigtail that plugged right into the factory fridge wiring behind the cabinet, I bought a bank of eBay switches that contained an actual "refrigerator switch" (any T2000 switch will likely work, but the fridge switch has a green "ON" indicator LED on top, and if you buy a bank with a "real" fridge switch, you'll have the correct translucent decal -- a snowflake in a box -- to put on your light pipe above the switch), installed and flipped the switch, and it's worked ever since.

Ronbo Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sorry Ron, I've got a Volvo. Are you going to be there Saturday? If so I will stop by after the salvage yard to chat Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sorry once more. Leaving with grandkids for short trip this weekend. Hope we can meet up at some point. Should be couple of forum members at the Heiskell park. BTW most of the semi truck places are located on or near Rutledge Pike. Also Truck Pro, Fleet Guard, and Ryder parts stores so if you need anything else. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

RandyA Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've been there several times and come away loaded with stuff for my Volvo on every trip. Guys there are nice and will even loan you tools if you do your own pulling. Pricing is fair and may be negotiated on small items you pull from the carcasses. Inventory changes rapidly and gets stripped/picked within a few days of a HDT arrival. Some of the things I have picked are a Davco fuel filter, Centramatic wheel balancers, Volvo overhead console for CB/Radio, lots of fuses, HVAC control, brackets for my Volvo fairings, sections of nylon air tubing, assorted dash switches, door and overhead lights, band clamps and more that I can't even recall right now. IMHO it is a fun place to spend a morning. Note: Wear sturdy shoes, long pants and have a pair of gloves handy. The ground is very rough and oil saturated. Back row of the skeletons will be overgrown.
