    that door should be aluminum, just a few screws to remove.

    That coil spring should be short steel/prepared steel



    501 lbs price is right style lol
    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    its thick, heavy steel, and generally higher quality. minimum thickness and max size vary by yard, but springs like that should be accepted everywhere.

    My yard here requires 1/4 or better for heavy steel, would the spring warrant that? Also, do you know if automotive parts warrant higher value? I figured they would due to being a higher grade of metal but I may be wrong.

    if you have a lot automotive steel, you can sometimes get a better price. some of the yards by the ports have separate pricing for brake rotors and stuff like that.

    is that spring less that 1/4 inch? if it is, show it to someone at the yard, they might take it anyway.
