Anyone around Portland Oregon going to this junkyard?

[Cubey]

I know it's a long shot, but I really need the AC discharge line from this van, if it's not been chopped off.

It's an IDI van so it's your chance to grab a Saginaw power steering pump bracket for IDIs. (I don't need it, just pointing it out)

I guess row52 got rid of requesting parts from individual pullers, since I can't find that feature anymore.

The junkyard's website says ac hoses are $26, and they charge admission.

This is the line I need, the lower, longer one that connects on the AC compressor towards the passenger side and with a valve port on it.

I could use all 4 bolts that hold both hoses to the compressor too, if available.

An AC line disconnect tool is required at the condenser end (by the valve)

Am sure there are others around here but @Nero is the only active member im aware to be in the greater pdx area.
He might dissuade you from bothering with those yards too heh.

Was working down by Vancouver wa last week but don’t plan to be down again for a while

@Cubey is the listing for the van wrong? Not too familiar with the e series but it’s listed as a 91 and seems a bullnose, do the years and body styles match?

Edit- guess it checks out from other searches, don’t know much about E series. Cool though

The portland yard their selection is usually the worst, Anything thats worth pulling is usually taken off before it drops, plus people just cut the ac hoses usually after they're evacuated.
Check in fee is only $2 at all pnp's.

I usually avoid the portland yard, but its mostly because one of the higher up employees there, Steve, is a complete jack a** and will nickel and dime you on everything he can.

Well, I especially need the hard line end at the compressor because it's bent/formed such that it goes around the fuel filter. I got a nearly identical line for 5.0/5.8 but I think it'll interfere because it's straight, not bent. The hose portion could probably be replaced by a hydraulic hose shop. $26 is kind of a lot for a chopped up hose. But then again, that line seems impossible to get, in any condition.

I have an emailed alert for row52 listings but of course it's set nationwide, and the IDI ones are always 1000+ miles from where I am. Portland is about 1,300 miles from me right now. I have ebay alerts for the several variations of the part number too.

I emailed a local yard this morning that lists only an ac condenser (stupidly priced, over $200!) just to see if they have lines, but no.

The only other fairly recently listed one.. in Chico, CA. Still 800 miles away. And it was listed almost 2 months ago. I was even further away in Arkansas when it popped up.

Hey I am also in the greater metro area (banks) often travel to Portland and Seattle for work. I’ll gladly grab something up for someone.

Redding is in the northern part of the state, a bit close to Oregon. Very far from LA.
