But again the Part out Kings is the ones that i say will end up getting them or the most of them.Seen some really nice trucks go into there back yards an shops an never to be on the road again.I've owned over 35 of these trucks.I've tried to save so many from the crusher.

Back in 2005--2010 Metal was up over 850.00 a ton for cast and steel junk car's and trucks where fetching around 1100.00 per car or truck.


Seen a lot of nice trucks and car's go in to the scrap yard to be shredded.The metal is starting to head that way again

Yes, that is one of my biggest concerns but I am hopeful that it is still on the road or just parked in a garage some where.
