I watched several old trucks go to the crusher a few months ago, & could do nothing about it.An old farmer, that lived a few miles from work, had a unbelievable collection of old trucks. He passed away, a few years ago, & when his sons heard about the prices of steel , they decided to start cutting them up. They would drag these trucks out by the highway, one by one, & start cutting the axles out from under them. The old farmer had a flatbed tractor trailer, so they would do the loading there. I saw them cut up two nice '50's White 3000 COE's, a '54 Ford F800 raod tractor, a '36 Dodge 1 1/2 ton cab, & chassis, & three '55-'59 GMC flatnose school buses, that had 302 engines in them. Bad thing about it was they had they're mind made up, about selling them as scrap, & would not sell you any of them. I can see they have many more old trucks, on the back side of the property, but thank goodnees the scrapping has stopped, for some reason.
