Dunno about interstate title transfers, but if ya couldn't haul them by train, you could pay for a semi in a couple years in parts. Rust free old stuff. Friggen spoiled rotten.

The problem is the transport across the rocky mts ,most companies wont drive over them for some reason

Yup. Sometimes rail transport is one-sided. And the space on a return trip is next to nothing because they'd be hauling an empty load. I'm probably dreaming but you guys are smashing up gold for peanuts. You know it as well as we do.

I haven't seen a set of lasagna tires in 15 years. Where did you score those?!

Those are Cooper's... got 'em from the local Cooper dealer some years back.
Copper dropped 'em a few years ago, as far as I know ya' haf'ta get 'em from specialty suppliers now.
My next set will likely come from these guys...

I cut and split year round but I do love those customers who call at 2 pm the day before a snowstorm expecting delivery before dark.

are you sure you don't live in PA?

Yes ,i scrap a lot of trucks ,my friends back east hate when i smash them .
Here is a sampler View attachment 461011 View attachment 461016 View attachment 461017 View attachment 461018 View attachment 461020

from just what i can see on that old 50's chevy in that one pic is about $500 in parts.

With scrap at dollars a ton I don't see how it could be profitable right now.

The crew cab 1 ton Ford if it was not too rusty would easily sell for 2-3k.... scrap value right now, maybe $50.

Nice. They have tube tires and even stock 16.5 rims too. Haven't seen those in ages either.

Its 60 degrees in the house. It was 38 this morning in North LA and its in the high 40's rite now. couldn't wait any longer. The first fire of the season! Me and Lucy (family pet) is hanging by the fire.

 

[babybart]

Where's Lucy?

 

[Zeus103363]

Lucy is camera shy. She is curled up though in my lap. under her blanket. You wouldn't believe me even if I showed you a photo.

This is the first year I am ahead. I have about a year and a half worked up and have another semi load of logs coming. I think I am going to enjoy being ahead and not having to stress about running low.

I like it between 15° and 25° when I make firewood... solid, frozen ground and I can work in lightweight long-johns, jeans, wool shirt and unlined gloves.

Try it in a t shirt, the only bad thing arms get scratch up a little .

Oh boy... did someone mention bias ply tires??
A set of self-cleaning, traction lug (mud and snow) bias ply tires will take ya' places all-season/all-terrain radials only dream about.

Here's my truck in the woodlot... ain't even locked the front hubs in... and ain't slipped a wheel neither.



Like I said, they self-clean... the side lugs will never load up, even in thick clay mud.

They don't even make good pizza cutter sizes much anymore. I've got Cooper S/T in 255/85-16, they're about perfect but probably won't be available much longer. It's all about flashy wide short sidewalled tires now.
