Craig, the one thing some people do not think of is, that if there wasn't guys like me who buy them, strip them, then crush them, others would not have parts to fix up their rides. If no one buys them for parts then the trucks end up getting crushed and no one gets any parts off of them. It happens more than anyone thinks, I see our years trucks headed to scrap alot, I just can't chase them all down.
Good luck in whatever you decide, Randy

I cant agree more With what Randy has said. At the swap meet the other day a guy asked why I am stripping these trucks down and not saving them. I simpley explaned that by stripping the forgoten and bad ones, I am saving the ones that are loved.
But you wont get paid for you time like the others have said. I do it because I need to stay busy, dont enjoy the TV, can drink beer while doing it and I could use the few extra $ that I do get.
