woody62 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Just thought I would post this. I was sitting in my house the other day, eating lunch, looked out the picture window in front and saw this guy with a old chevy truck that had 4X8 sheets of plywood (standing up) around the box. He had it full of junk. We see him drive by all the time. Collects scrape. Anyway, this time when he pulled up he had a trailer too! And it had a 87 Comanche on it (Sportruck) just like ours but black. It was a rusty pile. I ran out the door, with wife say "we don't need anymore crap!" I asked the guy what he wanted for parts he said he didn't know. It was all just scrape for him. We made a deal ($30) for all I could get off of it. We got a good set of Jeep rims, grill, lights, power steering, a ton of stuff. Just funny how you find this stuff. Never thought it would come to my door. woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody62 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 They guy said he found the little truck near Madison WI I think. Not a cheese head but a collector of crap just the same. Maybe it is a "Northern" thing or farmer thing to collect scrap. In any case I've been told scrap prices are high. The junkyard near me just got cleaned out last week. woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
