A few years ago a friend was clearing out an old chicken house that the owner had filled with A mechanical parts.He had started saving them in the late 40's,and just piled up the stuff.No sheet metal,just chassis parts.We never really understood his intent.I ran into my friend with a trailerload of parts on his way to the scrapyard.When he lets the clutch out he pretty much knows how much weight he has on board.He said if I wanted the load I could have it for $1500.I had to NOT look at the load,he was being pretty generous,as the dozen or so loads all scaled for $17-$1900 each.Interestingly enough,while there were a couple hundred wheels,there were no tires.He heated a woodworking shop with wood,and would burn tire chunks in it at night.Then back to the wood during the day.
