Im actually so greatful that the scrap gods are treating me well. This guys also got what looks like a 5 ft high half piece of silo, a 200L oil tank, an 8'x8' galvanized steel shed, an ollld camper trailer if we want it(will probably pass dont think yards take em here) and just got a call a little while ago to pick up a parted out jetta FREE. Unreal. I cannot believe it. Very helpful when trying to start a small business (see signature) very greatful.Originally Posted by sledge42
Thank you scrap gods! (maybe they feel bad cause prices are so low)
If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Ahah it was a cool piece. I found a parts truck too with a built trans but the stupid idiot wont email or call me back!!! Weird its like they dont wanna make any money. My clock spring just went too so cruise and horn dont work... Ughhh
By the way, speaking of trucks and old stuff, if you or anyone in ontario sees a comolete 49-53 GMC or Chev pick up, lemme know. Me and dad are lookin to buy one to restore. Actually just gonna get the body nice, raw it and drive it.
Found a beauty 49 Fargo with a dumo box, immediately thought of a scrappin truck. Looked so cool and was already in running and driving condition. 3800 bucks.

that fargo would be nice, i'd leave it all rusty and clear coat it, throw some logos on the doors, so many motor options
the parts truck i got is a 02 1500 HD, my friend parted it out and i got what was left for full scrap price (F*cker) he grew up in a bone yard so he thinks he knows what everything is worth.... lol anyways ya no box, axles seats but i did get a front drive shaft for my truck and a head light. going to try and get the all the glass out of it tonight or tomorrow. i really need the wind shield i might have to get a CVOR sticker for my truck in the near future. sold the front fenders and the rad/ hoses to the kid next door. that almost paid for the truckhas a nice class 5 hitch i'm going to use for my winch on my trailer, good wiper motor....man its like xmas. I'm just going to tell my ol lady to get me a parts truck for birthdays and xmas.
the demo derby is tomorrow night so i gota get it done i need my trailer empty, might get a car or two

Yeah i love the old raw and rusted look. Not a fan of the fords either. I like the ones with a split window. That fargo is on barrie kijiji. Its not bad lookin at all.
Bossman towed a 45 day impound and it was a 99 ram. Hope he doesnt come back for it ahahah

I am all for scrapping but this, as a farm equipment collector has some value to it. Postings on Yesterdays Tractors.com are free and you will make more than scrap. there is a great bunch of guys over there and I hate to see this get melted, parting this out or selling to a collector will make you nice money on this. Not too many pull type combines around any more. I hate to see this, "Made ill in Illinois, melted in Shanghai"

Heard this same sang n dance a million times! Are you really gona scrap that ? It's worth way more scrap. Ok then you want to buy it ? No, not really. It's how it goes every time, well, screw that ! One in the hand beats two in the bush. Besides that, it's free ! Had I seen that I would've hooked right on to towed it home. Tires flat ? I for one don't care, at 25 mph it doesn't matter. Usually only takes a couple miles before the chunks of tires quit flying off. Although inconsiderate, towing something, or even driving something with flat tires, isn't technically illegal.

If its any comfort i didnt end up picking it up. The deal fell through. Im all for saving old vehicles, equipment, tools, etc as well. Love the history. Hopefully i can find a truck like i was talkin about before. Save it from the claw. Or worse... A chop job.... Lol

I do try to sell or part stuff like that out. But i also wont sit with it for ages. If i get zero interest, she gone! Unless its something i think is cool. In still sick over that old truck you scrapped... Lmao Woulda givin you double the scrap value. Hell probably more... LolHeard this same sang n dance a million times! Are you really gona scrap that ?

And for the record, if i had done that and the 5-O caught me, i might as well cut my licence up on the spot. No tollerance for stuff like that up here... Careless driving, dangerous driving, unsafe load, etc etc... I was charged with careless before, cause i bumped A VW golf with my truck on the hwy in heavy traffic... Yeah, if i was careless i woulda slammed into it at 60 per and kept goin. But yet someone hit a kid in a school zone yesterday and got failure to yield..... Like... What? What a jooooke the law is. Mine was thrown out by the way. Probably cause of how STUPID and REDICULOUS the cop was that charged me.
Uh ohh... Here I go again with the ranting LOL

That's why I glad I live in Kansas. They let farmers run buck wild round here so if you "look" like a farmers chances are a good mean mugging is all you get from the federalies.

If you tow it with a tractor and put a yeild sign on tje back, youd be suprised what you can get away with up here jord

Yeah thats true. I know guys with 12 year old kids that help with farming and drive the massive double tire tractors down some of the busyest roads and get away with it. Looks like i gotta get me a tractor...

Trailer belongs to bossman, so i got permission to use it for the job. Gave him all the info and last second he told me that because of the liability and that it had the potential to be very unsafe, he wasnt gonna let me use it. Also had time restraints on it. He needed the thing gone by friday. Was gonna go load it up on thurs. But cause of the last second cancellation i didnt have the time to even chop it up. Was really bummed.
