scrap yards.......
so i was in my 72 gmc yesterday haulin a load of batteries and a little bit of scrap to the scrap yard. anyways my pickups got lots of dents in it and no paint(one day.....) anyways i was waitin to pull into the shop to unload my batteries and i look behind me and see a nice 72 chevy pull up onto the scale. i looked at it from my pickup and saw that the paint was worn down and there was light surface rust. but no dents! so anyways i pull into the shop and get rid of some stuff then pull onto the scale to get rid of my scrap. i see the pickup parked in the middle of the yard and they guy that was driving it was talking to the crane operator. i drove by it and thought "wish i had that pickup, theres not a dent on it and no rust that i can see" anyways i drop my scrap off and go back to the shop to get some money and a guy pulls up to me and says they just pulled that 72 in and you might be able to get some parts for your pickup. i said "no they drove it" and he said well go ask. so i went and asked the boss and he wouldnt let me buy parts, buy the truck, trade parts, or even let me slip him a $20 and he would look the other way! i was sooo mad bout that! if only i had seen the tow rope i would have another pickup sittin in the yard.....and just to think this happens every day. i really wish that guy that brought that pickup in had went over to me and offered to sell it to me. im sure everyones had a situation like that. any good ones out there?
