    darn, that was a pretty intersting 34 Ford truck. That magnificent wooden water tank on the back was worth saving! OR was it an old Whiskey delivery truck from the hills?

    WTF!!! Those Bastards!!!
     
  8. Being a carpenter makes seeing old wood like that wrecked as bad as seeing the tin! If that was not rotted there was several hundred dollars of oak or even maybe redwood that could be reclaimed!

    I've tryed to buy cars off of the truck before they got to the junk yard before. Seems like you could give them triple the junk price and they won't do it! It's like they are a machine or something........"must get to salvage yard......."

    Stuff like this makes me shake my head. Pretty sick to see. The thing looked really solid too...Shit makes no sense to me...Would be a cool ass advertisement truck for a whiskey company, as it looked...Or even a tow truck...

    this is one of those times when "just doing my job" carries about as much weight as "adversity builds charactor"
     
  18. that is too bad. the scrap yard probably dinged him for the tires and all the wood, so he ended up getting 1/2 of what he thought. At less than $100 a ton to boot.

    I had a 1st hand experience sorta like this back in the 80's. I was at a junkyard talking to the owner (i knew him) when this guy pulls in in a 65 Impala SS. Gold on gold, 327, auto. Nice car, no visible rust. Again he drove this in. He gets out and ask who he talks to about junking a car. Dave (the owner) says "that'd be me". The guy says, "how much for this?" :eek: Dave and i were like WTF?? He says "look in the drivers side wheel well". I Bend over and peek in and see a come along and some chain holding the rear frame rail together. Frame was toast but the car itself was really nice. He and Dave struck a deal. I never did find out what happened to that car, but it never ceases to amaze me what people deem as having value or not.

    Stopped a guy on the way to the crusher with a '59 Ford wagon. It was actually a pretty decent car with minor surface rust and lots of accumulated dust and dirt. Sort of looked like it was "barn fresh", but didn"t think to ask...just thinking about trying to buy it. Of course the guy wouldn't sell it to me " 'cause the price of scrap is way up" and he didn't want to take time to unload it because he had others to haul that day. Tried to reason with him that it didn't matter where he dropped it as long as he got paid...didn't register. Then I offered him 200 for the front clip, but no, he didn't want to lose that much time...so, the whole thing is now 3 Toyotas, 7 Hondas, and a weeks production of Kias.

  26. Damn that sucks...and I agree on the old water tank...That hurt almost as much as the old truck!!
     
  27. The scrapyard guys ABSOLUTELY blow goats.
    A guy in Rainsville rescued a 26 T touring that some moron hauled in for scrap metal last year.
