So, I collect scrap metal. It pays for my land cruiser trips and parts. I haven't had time for a while to take a load down to the scrap yard so I had a good amount. I got it all strategically loaded into the poor land cruiser of mine today and was a little bit disappointed that it was squatting more than the last time. I should have snapped a picture. I did remember that I rebuilt the rear springs since last time I went. Then I proceeded to drive it across town to the scrap yard. Hit bump stops just a couple of times. 4071 pounds of scrap! Someone really needs to take better care of this old truck! It is 49 years old after all.
2 tons of scrap in the Cruiser? Gawd daaaayam!!
Just hauled some in the trailer to scrap last weekend. $160 a ton.

Yep, mostly lead. Came out with just under $600.00. I think I will use it for exhaust parts for it. I lost the end of the tailpipe on an "more interesting" line during a wheeling trip last fall. Time to make a new one before July.

lol, that is a race to the bottom.
It should, my 04 Duramax has over 400 on it and still original system...
Looks great!!!
Another 49 years!!!
