Heavy Equipment Going for Scrap - Missed Opportunity for More Profit

sadly, its getting tough to buy old beater work trucks or tractors around here...A lot of good old projects are worth more on the scale than fixed up and running.

But I agree, always consider resale value before scrap price. Even one or two pieces can make a huge difference.



I love "big bolt" trucks like your '47. Always wanted to have one as a toy!

Yes, really love that truck. Same old style as the 39s and 40s - separate fenders, with headlights on top. Still the old prewar body stampings I guess. I think they changed to the more roundy ones in 48 - never liked that style. I did modify a bit and put in a 2 speed rear end. helped a lot.
