    The $150 Ford Ranger's first outing

    There will always be a special place in my hart for my Dodge but since I am a confirmed Scrap hunter - Dumpster diving -Aficionado .
    The years with my Dodge have one cold hard fact , Gas MPG . That truck can chew up fuel but I adapted & each trip in my Dodge had purpose . What I never did was just go looking for scrap for the heck of it . Still - she can carry weight or bulkier type items that a mini van can't.

    So as long as my old Dodge runs she is my scrap truck
    Anyway introducing my 1999 Ford ranger for $150 it's got one hundred five thousand miles on it plenty rust but runs sweet . The 4X4 works & the 4.0 V-6 delivers good MPG .
    I had a choice of registering the truck as class one $62 or two $87 . I went with class one
    I figures a gross weight of 5100 pounds is sufficient for the old Ford. The Ranger weighs 3200 lbs empty . Id be surprised if it can carry 1900 # , time will tell

    Last night I cashed in $30 of .5 cents bottles & cans, then I hit the streets ,
    This is the Fords first casual finds .
    The wood box is filled with some Copper , Copper wire , Copper bearing . Store racks from another area . The card board box is filled with
    Pegboard Hooks & will pass as short .
    I'll remove this load and reload my Dodge till the dodge gets the classic over filled look

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
