    Well Sometimes you get the whole vehicle, sometimes ya don't!

    Got a call from my Body Shop Guy today.. "Gotta get rid of this thing.. the landlord is showing the property and he's all on my case about it being where it is"
    Got her for free.. she goes to die tomorrow!


    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I thought to put it on CL as a joke. Be like these "tools" out there who put a Geo Metro with no engine or tranny up for $500 bucks and telling everyone they can scrap it!!
    "For a mere $500 dollars you should be able to part it out and come out way ahead!!"

    Yes, I have the V10
    I get about 10 MPG no matter what I do
    Empty/No trailer or all day with 2 on the trailer
    The V10 has always had all the power I have needed no matter what the job was

    For years I delivered Telephone Books in Boston and we loaded 6K pounds (3 Pallets 1 ton each) 2 or 3 times a day

    The story on this one was the guy rolled his truck with a trailer on it. They bought a scrap Ranger and the body guy literally tore the whole scrap truck down and re-inserted all the pieces (dash, column etc) back into the "scrap truck" One hell of a bit of work!
