I'm wondering if there are any good salvage yards around that will let you walk around and pick parts you want? I know pick n pull but I've heard mixed reviews about them. Needing some misc parts for my c10 and would t mind killing a day just walking around digging for parts.

Where are you located?
The junkyards in Haltom City between Carson and Haltom Rd are pretty good, and they have some old stuff. We went and yanked some parts for an '84 Chevy truck at Littlejohn's a couple of weekends ago and they had a bunch of them.
The yards off Business 287 in Kennedale are also good, and have old parts.
I used to go to the yards off Jefferson and Davis in Grand Prairie, but recently they seem to be crazy-high on prices and all they have is newer stuff. Pretty obvious they are catering to the collision repair business where there is plenty of insurance money.When the government pays, the government controls.

Only been to pick and pull once, but went on one of the holiday weekends when they do the 1/2 off sale or whatever and got a kick ass deal on some stuff I needed for my old Bronco.

My buddy has a grille for the square mid-80s GMC trucks. Let me know if you want to look at it.
I'd suggest just buying a remanufactured rear Blazer/Suburban rear bumper. An old one will look like crap after 30 years of being beaten on. I think you have to get bumper brackets from the junkyard though.
I think you need to talk to my buddy, he just did everything you mentioned... lol.
