Another Round of WHATS IT WEIGH?!

Scrap is finally back up enough to justify a few trips. We've had this truck loaded down for almost a month waiting. Will be minus tires/wheels when it gets weighed in. Bed and cab are stuffed with scrap metal, mostly body panels from my shop. No extra engine blocks or anything hidden in this one. Will give exacts tomorrow when we get back.

Doors are gone on the bottom edges due to rust and the drivers door is solid bondo from the mirror down to the body line, there is more carpet on the floorboard than there is floorboard left, left bedside is full of bondo as well. I hope that just adds to the weight.

And trust me guys, I took everything off of value and that can be reused, so please no "that's to nice to crush" or whatever. Nothing is for sale, just thought it'd be nice to have a 24 hour period of guessing on the weight.

Re: Another Round of WHATS IT WEIGH?!

I know pics can be misleading but is anything salvagable on this truck? Hate to see a square get crushed with good stuff on it.

I believe that is the winning guess! It weighed out at 4480 pounds, which put $448 in my pocket. Scrap has been going up and down daily here. Has been a lot of stuff on the news about sheriff officers sitting outside these recyclers stopping people pulling in junk cars on trailers. I was armed with the title (never transferred it, but had a title), bill of sale, my ID, my business ID's and a photo of my mother, just in case. Was the easiest sell I've ever done at the scrap yard though, I was stunned. Ends up the new manager of the place is an old insurance adjuster I've known for 20 years!

Anyways, thanks for playing... now, Bob, tell str8axle55 what he's won!!!
