Some of my scrap loads

**southendguy** · 09-26-2017, 11:00 PM

I will have some more pictures to add later. I was able to take advantage of my rural location to score pretty big over the weekend. Lots of scrap, and lots of more than scrap value.

Thanks for posting!! Hard to believe there's more than a year's gap in this thread. I had a battery load this year after my bro gave up the fantasy of making his own lead balls for his muzzle loader out of a bunch of batteries. It was a fun load!!

**Kalvlin** · 12-29-2018, 03:13 PM

Oh...... I love them batteries ! Wish I could score more but I won't pay for them so I get em where I can. When I get 20 or so them I add them to my load of other scrap to make sure I'm making it worth the trip. The last load was a bust with ferrous so the copper and batteries helped
to make it a decent payout.

It is hard to believe it's been that long. I haven't been hauling much, because I was running an excavator all summer. It's kinda nice to get back at it.

I traded this swather for an 18' car trailer and a plasma cutter.

You probably got the better deal, especially if you can work the plasma cutter like a ninja!!

I saw an add for corrugated metal for free, must take all. I have been looking for some to put on the roof of my porch, so I said I would take it. As is always the case where I live, it was over 100 miles to go get it, but I know the people, and my sister has a ranch near there, so I made the trip. As it turns out, this was a building that had been taken down in the early 70s, and purchased by this ranch, and never reassembled. There is another load like this one that I still need to go get.

A little research tells me that this may be worth a little bit of money, I have already had a couple people say that they will buy some.

Also, I was able to make connections to purchase a 1972 Chevy K20 pickup for a pretty cheap price.

I picked up this old Chevy a few days ago.

Hope you didn't destroy that .
The body panels are in very good condition for a 70's truck !

No rust at all. It will be fixed up by someone. I have several people that want it, and I haven't advertised it.

**rc1530** · 03-03-2019, 06:12 PM

Very nice truck! They don't make tanks like that anymore!

**DakotaRog** · 04-13-2019, 07:28 PM

You may live in a pretty empty landscape for people but one thing that aridity does is stuff doesn't rust away like further east with more precip, more humidity, and high use of salt on snow & ice in the winter. Good luck on selling that old pick-up. Looks pretty hot for being 47 years old!

I've started doing a little scrapping again lately, still stockpiling most things. Made a deal to clean up a huge ranch yesterday, I'll take pictures and post later.

I'll be back hauling again soon, and if I can figure out how to post pictures again, I'll do that too.
Looking through the pictures on this thread, I should probably post an update on the vehicles in it.
The black 72 Chevy 4X4, and the white 67 Chevy with the utility bed, both went to the same guy. He's planning on doing a full restoration on both of them, like he's done on some other old Chevys.
The white 85 Chevy van went to a guy who's building a 70s style surfer van.
