    One day before trash man came my dad and I went scrapping and we got lucky. We fill the whole truck with bunch of scrap. I have more videos in you tube check them out under geravega77

    Good haul. But was that a propane tank laying on its side? Highly illegal not to mention dangerous to anyone behind you. I doubt your scrap yard will take it.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Hek Scrappy, get you a trailer to put on your car. I mostly use the trailer anyway for scrap, the truck bed usually just gets tools and non ferrous stuff, or small computer load pickups

    Without the truck, you will still feel the gas crunch from having to make more trips to get your loads and more trips to the scrap yards.

    Where can I buy a trailer for cheap, does any one know any suggestions. I live in Dallas, Tx. The more room the better because you can go to the junk yard and sell more scrap and less gas.

    Has anyone here ever built a wooden trailer? I was thinking a minivan rear axle might be just the ticket.
