    That PT Cruiser is an abomination. Your truck shows a good use of what you've got to work with some times!

    At the yard today with my son AND PartTimeScrapper and this joker pulls in. Good to not only meet someone from the forum, but move some steel while we were at it. Thanks for your help today PTS!

    Looks to me like that "joker" is making money. Only thing is he shoulda strapped them cars down.

    That Cruiser is as ugly as a red-headed stepchild,,
    And KZ, at least his truck was up to the job and not doing it dangerously, like someone we have pic's of out East.
    That's an old grain truck probably with a hi-lo rear end and a hydraulic hoist. Just needs an Earl Scheib paint job.

    Surely this guy had the load strapped and what we're seeing is him in line to offload? One corner and I am betting that top car would have slid off.

    Looks like a chain binder front and rear attaching the top one to the bottom one, Or maybe my eyes are messing up along with the rest of my body.

    I stand corrected on the truck; that's an old dump truck,

    He just pulled off the street and was waiting at the scale, I though that was a chain binder from a distance as well but as we got closer it was just scrap.

    Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying that. No straps, no binders, nothing. ( Although even if it would have been a chain binder I don't see how it woulda helped liked that ). Now I see why you say "this joker". Hell, I could think of few other things to call him.

    That could very well be, never thought of that. I kinda dig the truck who wouldn't want to throw scrap in that when cruising around the hood.
