They look like scrap after you smash them with a 70,000 lb track hoe. Yes, times have changed and how our trucks are used have with them. Interesting thread.
I had a Chevy Vega I cut up due to rust. When I took the chunks to the scrap yard, I realized that I didn't have the pink slip and said I'd go back and get it. The yard guy said, "Looks like #1 tin, to me!", and paid me my $10 (IIRC). Metal was cheap in those days.
