leversole Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Driving around my town I spotted a cabover and what looked liked heavy truck salvage off the highway behind some woods. As I drive up I spotted these! Could not believe my eyes! 4 B models and an R600 with a dump bed attached! There is even an LTL that looks like it was just parked there and left. Also an old Brockway...I talked to the neighbors (a scrap yard) and they told me about the owner and how he would not sell ANYTHING and that he would rather scrap something than sell it...Well, that was a heartbreaker. They said he hauls heavy stuff, like tanks and such. Once I get my truck licensed, I will drive it to his house, THEN ask if he would part with some parts!

Rich Reinhart Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I just dont get it, I`ve had a friend pretty much chased off with a shotgun for asking someone if they would like to sell a truck just rotting away behind a barn.

Greg Rider Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 There is a crazy guy in Illinois that won't sell any Mack stuff. His wife has threatened to remove anatomy or trucks and he doesn't care. Quote #1 on A-model registryIf I drink because of work, why can't I drink at work?

Andy Wright Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Great find, mate, but sad to know the trucks will probably rot where they sit.'Collectors' like that seem to be all over the world. Plenty like that down here too. To some extent good on them for svaing what they do but ... no sense of fun. LOL. Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.
