Your truck? - Page 2

2009 Ford E350 van and a 16 foot tandem axle trailer.

2004 Tacoma 4x4 Doublecab and a 4x8 trailer w/o springs...... Usually have the two crib midgets with me when I am hunting for metal.

not sure what year thinking late 90s f150, but its got a chevy emblem on front ha and on back it says chevy f150 and on other side is says ford trailblazer hahaha its my pops dont ask

2000 Grand Caravan. Looking to get a hitch put on, but in the meantime that thing is huge, especially since we moved the seats into the house.

2000 f350 4dr diesel dually
1984 intl 1900 dump
7x16 tandem axle trailer ( rarely use for scrap)
5x10 beater trailer with 4' sides

2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4.

I also have a Harbor Freight 4x8 trailer if needed, but haven't needed it yet. I use it to haul the dirt bikes, but could use it for scrap more than likely.

just sold my 1992 GMC vandura to my dad 1/2 or 3/4 ton not sure gutted only the 2 front seats remained . had it since 2007 never left me stranded needed it because i used to live in a bad neighborhood other scrappers would steal your scrap and i did not have a garage to park it in. I also just sold my 1987 mazda b2000 to my cousin and now he is scrapping with it burned a ****load of oil for the last 2 years i just took peoples old oil and kept putting it in those engines were built to last but zero power or torque try getting over 60 mph on the highway with a small load lol.I have a 2 year old daughter so the wife made me go out and get my first car payment ever so i bought a 2002 toyota tacoma extended cab with 92000 miles for 8thousand. runs great more power than the mazda but uncomfortable getting my daughter in and out of her carseat. and not as comfortable in the drivers seat compared to my old mazdas i scrap a lot of front and rear clips from my body shop accounts so i needed a 4 cylinder low to the ground with no sides on it. i have had it for a year and will keep it until the wheels fall off and then some. CHICAGO GAS PRICES USUALLY LEAD THE NATION so i knew a 4 cylinder was the best option for me and i have never not gotten the load i needed and when i need the big guns i call my dad he's got a 1 TON VAN AND MY OLD 3/4 TON VAN

International 24' flatbed
Peterbuilt roll off truck with 2 - 40 yard containers
Ford 20' flatbed
Terex Wheel loader (for loading the trucks)
Ford F-250 V10 with 32' gooseneck flatbed (great for loading 6-8 cars at a time)
Mack box truck for servicing all of the trucks and equipment

Reall want to get a decent excavator and a shear - give it time

Show Off...HAHAHA

Looks like his last log-in was over a year ago.

Junkdude, Im not showing off, i was simply answering the question. I also do this on a slightly larger scale than some, and you have to have the right equipment. I also dont really mess around with non ferrous too much. I scrapped around 700 tons of steel last year, and only saved some of the non ferrous. By the end, I had made enough with the non ferrous to buy the Ford flatbed.

I cant count the number of torches, saws, grinders, cutters, and other small tools needed, but I have to in order to stay profitable. If someone calls me up and said I have an oven or a fridge or even a car, I dont waste my time. I cant make money on such a small scale.
