Pete,I bet right now that truck would scrap for double or triple that right now.I just scaled a Ford Ranger,no engine or trans,I walked out with $248. Last summer I passed on a trailerload of A parts.All mechanical,no sheet metal,they had been stored under a barn by a hoarder.Engines,transmissions,rears,front axles,frames,etc.The scrapper knew how much he had on the minute he let out the clutch.He offered the stuff to me for $1500.per load,I turned it all down.It all brought quite a bit more over the scales.He hauled quite a few trailer loads out of that barn.I could just picture myself shelling out $8-$10,000 for a bunch of iron dumped in the yard.Heavy iron was bringing $380.per ton at the time,and it was a 2000 pound ton,not the metric,or gross ton at 2240.
