some words from a slick collector
yes guys die and if they have a wife she deals with the stuff left on the property.i hauled off several trucks that if the owner had not died they would still be there.wife needs money, sells what she can and tries to deal with someone to haul the real scrap away. around here the junk cars have to be hauled a long way to and scrap yard, or to the crusher where he will
let you drop them off.the hauler makes only what he charges to haul them off
the paying scrapyards are another 50 miles drive past the crusher.
everyone does not want a new ford truck, i dont, i am very happy with driving the slicks all the time.
but then i sell parts from the stuff i hauled here,use the $ to keep the running ones in shape and have sent the remains of many off to the crushers too. i have a large keyring of vin tags taken from the "dearly departed"
i also realized, a little while back that i was not going to fix/restore all of them that i kept
a lot of that is economic, cant afford plates/insurance for all those anymore plus $20 for 5 gals of gas.
i have decided 3 is enough trucks to deal with, i sold the dumptruck and maybe the uni and im cleaning out the parts and scrapping stuff. i can keep enough parts to keep the 3 going for lots of years.
but its his property
if he wants to have a thousand trucks there and no one is hassling him about it, why should it be anyones business besides his.
and in this day only 1 idiot has to hurt themselves removing something in the yard and the lawyers come out to play. i dont let people wander my yard hunting parts, if they want to remove large items i drag the truck out to the road so its not on my property.
