It is incredible the amount of stuff that we are losing to the current high steel prices.
I see trailers loaded with scrap steel go by every day.
Last night on the way home (4:00 am) I saw a trailer loaded down with riding lawn mowers washers /dryers, and a entire 1967 chev truck front clip, grille hood headlight rings - every thing..
I have been looking for a good 62^ gmc hood, my friend called , and said there was a 1 ton out at the crusher yard, by the time I got there they had stacked a car next to it , and smashed a rust free fender and the hood- I probably would have given them the scrap price for the fender,hood, radio, guages, and they still could have gotten good scrap money for what was left.
It is sad we are losing all this stuff, this $250 calif truck looks better than anything I have seen around here for twice that money.
