Anybody nearby need a truck??

Man, wish I was closer. That is truly a shame to let those trucks go to waste...I hope they get rescued somehow.

My chest hurts. Me and my dad ran to western MN when I was in high school when his car club got wind that something like this was going on. There was a '57 Chev convertible and other car and trucks back to the 30's there. Everything worthwhile was rescued.

capev86 · 08-25-2010, 04:31 PM

what a waste. always, the people who have them are the ones who don't care about them. if he cared, he'd sell them cheaper just to save them (and put money in his pocket sooner). still, 450 isn't bad for a complete vehicle.

we need to get celebrities involved. maybe Jay Leno would like a classic chevy truck?!!

I have trouble believeing that anyone could do this.

YBNORML · 08-25-2010, 08:15 PM

This was already posted on the 67-72 board.
I went and checked it out.
Not much left worth saving. He's an active wrecker, and is tired of the game.
And he does care, he's got some amazing stuff set aside for himself, mostly early muscle and 30's iron.

capev86 · 08-25-2010, 09:54 PM

must be an old image on his ad. i see a lot of nice 50's trucks and of course that 60-66 panel in the foreground. as long as he saves most of what is rare or salvageable. i do agree that sometimes you have to truncate down the herd but not when it is something truly vintage and has some a chance at another life. heck, i have two 80's project vehicles (87 ram 50 and 86 aries wagon) in addition to my 72 burb and neither are on the road....yet. rust is hell and expensive to fix!

thirdstreettito · 08-25-2010, 11:21 PM

I wish I had a way to get them here. I have land those would fit on... Cheap parts for everyone!

63sbssbbw · 09-21-2010, 06:30 AM

Aug 30 has past anyone know if he actually crushed them or not?

YBNORML · 09-21-2010, 08:27 AM

When I was there he already had a crusher on site.
The area you see in the picture was secluded from the main body of the yard.
He had already gotten rid of about a football sized area of late-model junk.
I have no doubt that he crushed what was left.
As I said before, all the good stuff was spoken for and it wouldn't have been worth the trip.
