What was the reason for not getting prepared?

I’m sure because there was a few pieces of concrete in there. Everything was short. Who knows, wasn’t gonna get too crazy. I’m still happy to get $275 a ton for it.

I have 3 old shitty RV's that were left on my property by previous owners. Gonna scrap them and hopefully they don't say shit about needing a title or anything

They will probably make you pay. The RV part is basically worthless wood, fiberglass and plastic. If you have machines you are going to be time/money ahead peeling the RV portion off the top and throwing them into a dumpster or just making a pile and burning.

The chassis have enough useful bits I'd leave them around or part them out into your stash.
 
Yeah basically there is a Dodge, Ford, and a Chevy Motor Home. All 1970's models and all have motor/trans/rear axle in there. And I agree with the RV part being all shitty wood with some thing siding on it.

The ford one should net you the desirable forged beams.

You basically have a bunch of D70s in various flavors, a good pile of leaf springs to add to your collection, driveshaft bits and a good selection of clusters/columns/pedals/parking brakes/etc all of which can be put into inventory for future use.

The engines/trans cores can be bartered for stuff you need more.
 
Yeah they will get broken down as I have time and like said if I find something I need I will offer then the motor/trans/rear axles are trade or partial trade.
 
If you have a someway of ripping the bodies off and burning them thats the easiest way of getting rid of the bodies, any other way your ot of pocket.

Scrap the frames and sell or keep axles and motors.
 
I'll have a 9000lb reach forklift that I will basically try and lift the body off of and it will probably rip off or partially rip off and swazall the rest. Gonna be a fun weekend project once I'm moved in and not busting my ass cleaning the place up to move into.
 
The way I've seen it done is to cut holes at the front corners around floor level, fish a heavy chain/cable through and then drag the cable down the length to get the walls detached from the floor. For a class A you would obviously want to pull the motor/trans and anything of value from the cab before doing this. Where I'm from the cable is typically strung between trees and the trailer is towed or the cable is strung to one tree and rotated in an arc about the tree by a truck/tractor but you don't have trees in the desert so you'll have to figure something out.

Once the walls, interior and roof are removed from the body and on the ground it's easy.

We have officially moved into full blown clown world. Just popped up on Facebook from the scrap yard. Aluminum cans are at $1.00 a pound wtf.

Looks like my 10 year collection should go in.
 
CRV in California is a strange mind fuck.

The state pays the recyclers as I understand it more than the weight value and more than the CRV of $.05 or $.10 depending on container size.

I took cans Friday @ $.95/lb but they fucked me by weighing me on the truck scale rather than the inside scale. 20# variation is bs. I should have raised a stink but still took my $114 with a smile. Won’t be taking cans to that yard again
 
I ran through 4 years in NW Indiana last week looking for rims and they were hauling off piles of steel that had been building up for over 5 years.

Good. I've got about a ton sitting on the trailer right now ready to go. If it'll quit raining today I'll make a run.
 
I think it was about 2010 we were pulling wire out of abandoned conduits at the schools I used to work for to backfill our budget cuts for M and O. :eek:
 
always funny watching the videos of guys oxygen lancing the really big scrap up
sometimes it looks like they spend more in lances and o2 than the scrap is worth
