Was offered 3 graintrucks for 1k is there money to be made?

check to see if any of them trucks run planetary axels. around here if you sell them in right market they go for $500-750 each to people building mud toys. the heavy axels dont break and are used to set up the high lifts.

the bed should be resaleable. i sold a 16 foot grain truck bed for 750 last fall off a 49 chevy 1 ton truck.

the dump bed equipment if repairable sells good too. look at fellow scrappers and farmers... also for the bed consider cutting the frame into a trailer. less regulation and just get a builders title. a 20 foot trailer should be worth at least 1000 - 2000 if built right. them axels are plenty heavy so would provide a very heavy duty trailer.

that old stuff sells because it was built to last and was easily repaired.

do your homework. you may sit on some of it a while but you listed potentially a few grand easy in parts and you will still have 90% of your scrap weight.

every one just thinks of. how fast can i get paid when a little extra time can make you 10 times more. i learned a long time ago to look to market or sell stuff creatively when it came to that stuff. it pays well if you got the pacience to do it. besides selling them as parts will make you far more than scraping them will.



just my 2 cents.
