That's how my father in law is. He has a 77 Chevy 1/2 ton long bed 4x4 with over 600K on it. only had 200K when he got it 20 years ago.

95 s10 4-banger 5-speed haha not pretty but just wont quit

Finally got around to locating a door. $500 for the truck. $100 for the door. $14 and change for pins/bushings and I am up and runnin'.

Door hangs up just a tad, but latches fine.

I think this will be a good runabout for pickups and not piddle away so much fuel driving the full size.



'99 GMC Sonoma 5 speed 4 banger

By the end, I had made enough with the non ferrous to buy the Ford flatbed.

I cant count the number of torches, saws, grinders, cutters, and other small tools needed, but I have to in order to stay profitable. If someone calls me up and said I have an oven or a fridge or even a car, I dont waste my time. I cant make money on such a small scale.

You must have some pretty rich sources of scrap. What sort of places do you frequent?

1997 Tahoe 5.7. I love this truck a lot. No too much space, but it can definitely hold some weight!

So if you have roll-off containers, are you doing cleanouts of general debris as well?

Looks like his last log-in was over a year ago.

This isn't my truck, but it was on the scale before me. His hitch was about an inch off the ground

Here was our last load at Goshen, didn't put a strain on that truck. I think we had around 1200 on there.

My dad lets me use his 99 Dodge Dakota Sport, sucks on gas but it hauls a heavy load for the little frame, after I unload the ride back is always fun. Without that weight this truck hauls brick

I don't think there's a lot of money in bricks,,

I'm reminded of that episode on Scrappers where they take a van load of bricks, and then can't find a buyer for them.
