Maddog13407 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 i remember when we could buy up (my grandfather and I) old B model parts trucks for 250-1200 a truck. god the good old days. now everyone around these parts sees shit on tv or the want ad and they think their junk has gold frame rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 yep,I miss those days too,Matt. Pretty hard to pay 1500 to 2000 for a rusty,non runner just to keep it from going to scrap. Kinda nice to get a runner in halfway decent shape for under 1k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countryboy5487 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yea when scrap prices went thru the roof was the final nail in the coffin on cheap trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 yup same here in upstate Ny. about every B model I knew about 10 years ago is long gone now and if we didn't buy it it went to scrap or might as well have. I remember we bought 2 B42S's 1963 and 64 with heavy front axles for $100 and $200 a piece about 10 years ago.. both had excellent cabs and 80 grand on the clocks. were site trucks all their lives but just beat.also bought a few B61 parts trucks for two and 300 bucks a piece. those were the good old days.
