What advice do you wish you could give yourself when you 1st started scrapping?

I have a 9 4 E 350 it will pull any thing you can get a chain around, but the front ends on them is crap.

I certainly wouldn't over took the ford PU with the 300 6 cylinder in it as a starter truck. they are relatively cheep as pick ups go and will do more then a 302 v8 and even probably a 352 and will take more abuse then other brands.

The 94 area Rams have week transmissions but love the truck later models were better but now that they are owned by Fiat who is known for building junk I don.t know..

Chevys tend to have weak body structure, electric windows etc.



Just my experience and opinion. over 50 yrs

Toyota Tacoma frames are crap and not up to much abuse. for a small pu the Isuzu is practically indestructible

Nissan are total urban gota have a pick up week end vehicles or ok for light work. My experience over 50 yrs and just my opinion.

Issus for a light pu are practically indestructible, especially if you can find a diesel.

Iv,e always wanted to build an El Camino type scrap PU out of a stretch limo.
