[diesel_mercedes] Basic Junkyard Stupidity

 



WOW ! a $200,000.00 tow truck .

My tow truck in the 1970's was a 1955 Chevrolet 3600 with an old tech "Murphy Plate" instead of slings, powered by a 235 C.I. i6 I miss it still, it was beaten and battered but never bowed .

As far as my junkyard, I  SOLD THINGS and didn't give a hoot what a new one would cost, it was just scrap like you said so every penny over .35 cents / pound I got was gravy .

I always had plenty of stock too but I rotated the hell out of it because I wanted to MAKE MONEY not sit on"!!RARE!!" old used parts .

Too right, Nate - where is the money in that? Going out the door, that's

I can remember a guy here in my home town who had a wrecking yard - he
decided he did not want to continue wrecking cars so he got into the
towing side of things. He had tonnes of scrap sitting in his yard - this
scrap virtually funded the tray on the big tilt-slide tow truck he
operates! A$80,000 for the tray, A$120,000 for the truck (a big European
V8 Scania R164) for a grand total of A$200,000. This Scania is the most
powerful tilt-slide truck in the towing game in town!
