vision386 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I have passed a place on U.S.220 about 20 miles North of here for a few years,always wanted to stop in and look around,but there is really no place to pull over with a truck. There WERE a few old Macks visible from the road and many more in the surrounding woods,i seen these 2 over the summer and wanted to try and get some more pics,but the thought of getting shot at didn't appeal to me! Anyway,what bothers me now is the new sign on the property says "Scrapco" that doesn't sound good to me!.....................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

maint1 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The price of scrap is way down, perhaps a few things wI'll be around longer. I had been looking for an older welding machine and some 6X5.75 rims for my 66 Ford welding truck, only to find that there were plenty until the price of scrap went sky high. A lot of valuable parts land equipment lost forever. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39113-scrapco/#findComment-281128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Mark, is that place where the Westvaco woodyard used to be? There used to be a B model at the woodyard that you could see from 220. I came up 220 last week going to Moneta and it looked like the woodyard was closed. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

j hancock Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Crawling through NY Macks?I will let you crawl all over the B behind Hudon's saw shop in Mapledale. Last time I saw it was covered with brambles and something that sort of looked like poison ivy! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

vision386 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 That's the place Tom! there WERE a dozen or so old Macks and a few other make trucks scattered around there,you could see a little better in the wintertime. The past few times I've been by there in the daylight,i don't see any of the trucks that were in the woods facing 220,thats why I was worried when I saw the new sign! It was some sort of construction company before I think?........................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Maddog13407 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 that old B model dump truck is still behind Hudons?? think it was a B613SX. was a brute. had a b81 front axle under it. haven't seen it in years Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39113-scrapco/#findComment-281419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The B was there as of 2-3 years ago. The vegetation was really winning the battle and they had piled a bunch of logs around it. I have been through several times since but haven't stopped in to check on it. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
