    Your truck?

    What kind of truck do you guys have? Just wondering what everyone is running, My dad has a 1987 chevy custom deluxe half ton that we bought for 600, it has paid for itself many a times, it was a ****ed up 3 speed because the original owner put the shifter on the floor, I may be able to get a picture or two of it, right now its all loaded up so itll be good.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    '07 chevy silverado half ton

    My yard is 45 minutes away, the closest and easiest to get to that accepts mixed scrap. There are other local places within a couple minutes away, but they only take non ferrous metals and at a lesser price, so everything goes to my yard in Manville, TX.

    92 F250 extended cab diesel
    16ft utility trailer
    homemade 9x10 utility trailer with sideboards (This usually sits on the side of the shop, getting filled with trash until I make a run to the dump.)
    35 HP 4x4 tractor with loader and homemade pallet forks.
    2003 toyota Corolla

    I live 30 miles out of town, so the corolla gets a lot of use for scouting and picking up microwaves, computers, etc. It gets 35 mpg, so hauling in a trunk full of copper, car batteries, and small electric motors is even more profitable that firing up the truck some days.

    99 dodge ram 1500 long bed

    surprised at what this thing can handle...

    I am spoiled because my yard is 6 miles from my house and the prices are highly competitive and the best in the area
