    On trash day I run around in my little 99 Ford Ranger. I am surprised by how much material is available lately since the prices have come down. I can usually get at least one full load in it.

    I'm almost done paying my truck off, 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 long bed...What motivated me to start/keep scrapping is using my truck to scrap and in turn sooner or later I will have made the entire trucks cost back. It looks like your truck is already paying for itself.

    Those light's are high bay light's if they work you might want to think of putting them on CL. If not there should be some nice copper in them.
    We buy electronic scrap, Gold Karat scrap, gold filled, refined gold, silver and many other item's.

    Nice truck and nice lights. I got about fifty of those lights from an electrical contractor. The shade part was sheet alluminum, part behind the shade is cast alluminum and inside those are large transformers and copper wires.
