Here is one of our haulers, and if we need a trailer then u-haul charges $20.00 for 2 hours. Cheap deal. For smaller stuff and scouting I use my '99 Taurus. The truck has a 305 with a 5 speed and 373 rear end with duals.

Have alittle door rust on the truck?

An Dixiedeadhead running the veggie oil is awesome as hell. Some of the best fuel I have ever used.

Changed out the S-10 for a 6 cylinder F150

LOL
We're lucky the doors still close tight. lol Don't have to look pretty to haul scrap; It has a 305 with a 5 speed. Actually pretty good fuel mileage.

2004 F-150 SuperCrew, 4x4, but only 5.5' box. Gets the job done and is my daily driver.
Also have been using my dad's '87 Dakota longbox reg cab 2wd. This is a perfect scrapping truck except for the fuel-sucking carb lol :P
Seriously thinking about a trailer in the 4x6 / 5x8 range.

Was wondering what kind of systen you use and where you get your oil. Do you have a tank that pre heats?

2000 4x4 f350 dually with my holmes wrecker body 7.3 turbo diesel :)

93 Ford F-150XL, 8ft. Bed, 4inch lift. This truck is a beast, can haul alot and get most places to find it.

Also, i have not seen one of these posted yet, but i also use my 2007 Arctic Cat 700 quite often. Its great to scout in the woods, haul things back, ect... Ive prolly overloaded the quad a few times but it's a great asset for where i live. It also has a 2500lb. winch on it for pulling the scrap out of the pits. And on them easy days, take a ride in the woods, pick up lb. after lb. of aluminum cans and watch them build up!

1996 s10, shes tired but gets the job done and shes good on gas http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/...aier/truck.jpg

2000 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton. I've had it two years and the rear end went out and had to be rebuilt - not sure what the previous owner did to it to leave it in that condition! But it runs great and hauls great - it has that haul/tow button I can use when I'm really heavy with a load, never saw that before in a truck.

saving up for a truck, when i don't have the car i scrap with this:

when loaded up you get a good workout!

Recycler, what were they smoking when they put that tractor together??? Looks funny as he11

lol its because the tractor is built for row-cropping, If you had that loader on the front, you would have that b!tch tipped on her side in seconds trying to pick anything up lol But ya very funny looking none the less

I have a 92 dodge dakota with the v8 engine so it sucks on gas and I mean that literally lol. I wish I had bought a bigger truck if im going to have a gas guzzler it might as well be a big one.

I have a 91 Dodge 1 ton with Cummins and 12' flatbed Stakepockets for racks and 4x4 forklift made out of a jeep hauled on a tiltbed trailer. Somtimes use use 92 Subaru wagon when I see a small pile.

97 Dodge Dakota SLT 4x4 3.9L. But it runs like a champ

1994 F150
Extended Cap and 8' box with cap

I pull a 6'X10' trailer behind to load the scrap in. The ramp makes it much easier to load appliances then lifting them into the bed. Much less wear and tear on the truck as well.

This picture was taken when I was cutting apart some old school buses at a farm.

The cap makes it nice to store my tools and keep them dry, don't want to be without one.

is that you in the pic CMHN ? looks like you're taking a big swig of something good ! What did you use to cut the buses ? Sounds like a fun job.

No, that's my nephew, it was in the summer and he wanted some money for a video game so he came out with me and helped scrap. Nothing like earning your own money to make you appreciate what you are buying.

I used my saw-zaw for the body and a torch for the frame. It took us a week each bus, that's cleaning it out, cutting it and hauling it to the scrap yard. We got a little over $700 a bus and we had 7 buses to do. Made out pretty well those couple months.

Obviously, you didn't get the memo that you can't make any money at this.

No, I must have missed that memo.

I don't do this full time, its a part time gig to raise money for toys. But I do pretty well, I'm known in the area and get calls and emails regularly to pick up scrap.

2000 dodge 2500 cummins, 6 spd 4WD Longbed

Here, is my newest find, after I get it plated it will save some wear and tear on my Taurus. Pull the back seats and there is 7' inside room, cause with e-scrap you might get something good enough to sell and you don't want it getting wet till you can test it.

http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/...S2010007-1.jpg

nice.....did your mosquito netting get blown away ? I see a frame in the background !!

Nope that's another one that was given to us, just needs one leg replaced on the frame. We're going to set it up behind the other one for a staging area. We had a bad storm go thru the area the other day(weather service thinks it was a F0 tornado) and the canopy stayed up thru it all.

That's ok, I only paid $225. for it, just need to fix the rear brake line. When it falls apart, I can take it to Ft.Wayne and scrap it for 500.

That other junk truck??? There is nothing Junk about it!!! How Dare You!!! Its a 92' Chevy. lol My dad is at fault for all of the rust, he decided to start putting primer on and didn't use sealer primer so it just absorbs water and you see the end result lol. That truck has done anything I've wanted or asked it to do and more. Gotta love a good Chevy. I'm pushing 300,000mi right now.
Actually I'm looking for a heavier truck like a 3/4 or 1 ton because I have all of the body parts for the 92' stored in my shed waiting for paint. Might of found a great deal on a new bed $150 no rust or dents. Gonna give the old girl a face lift this winter. Haha. After that she will be my project truck/garage queen.

Haha. Yes, yes we should.
