"Junkyard" find

Recommended Posts

My daughter Toni and her boyfriend Craig work at Giordano's Recycling in Vineland. She works in the scale house and he runs part of the yard. I stopped over to visit her at work today and Craig walked over with this:

A guy had just scrapped it. I'm going to mount it on the tongue of my trailer to carry the hitch, jack, tie downs, and everything else. He said he will talk the owners into giving it to him or paying less than scrap value. Early Christmas present.

That's a dandy early Christmas present Buzz. Might wanna upgrade that boyfriend to "Son-in-Law" someday. :ychain:

I was able to get one of those with the purchase of my new/used truck and it is great for keeping my work tools/supplies. I think it looks really good on there too. Nice pick up for you !!

Check the scrap yards. You'd be surprised what people scrap. This is in perfect shape except for a dent  in the back where they threw it off the truck. That can be hammered out easy enough.

She could do a lot worse. As a matter of fact she has a couple of times. I think they call that the Mother Teresa complex, bring home the losers and lepers and try to heal them. :disgust:

Buzz...good eye....I have found (3) WH on top to the junk yard scrap pile ...waiting to be crushed....one was a C-161....scrappers don't care what the item is...all they want is CASH!....another good find was TSC toolbox/fuel tank combo.....tank had small crack that welded up nice with no leaks.

 

You know what they say...poor people have poor ways....that's me!!!.......and I still believe in Santa Cluas!!! :text-merryxmas: should be Merry CHRISTMAS!
