I've got 2 trucks I need to scrap. Lady at the salvage place says they must have titles to scrap them. How do I get around this? Trucks are 76 F250 2wd complete minus rear axle and 77 K20 lots of rust with no drivetrain.

You have to cut the cabs into either four or six pieces. It technically needs to be unrecognizeable as a vehicle. The beds shouldn't be an issue, just throw all the crap you cut up in the bed on a trailer and take it in.

When I cleaned out the yard at my shop I just cut the cabs into pieces small enough to handle by hand and then threw them in the beds on the trailer. Except the one I had a title for, it stayed whole

you need to cut them into pieces, also if you cut them up they will give you more money for it, if you leave them whole they take off a percentage b/c of all the plastic/cloth/foam, and other crap that a vehicle has in it

Kopecki how's the body on the 76 ford? If in decent shape I could use the front fenders and possibly the doors.

I've really never looked at the cab/doors much, don't remember it being a rusted out dent though, and it was probably 10 years old when it was junked. I'll have to take a look at it next time I'm around. Engine I think is a 360.

I hauled out a load of ugly rusty scrap tin and stuff today. 2880lbs = $288.

usually just have to have holes in gas tanks and make shure no fluids in anything.... pull radiator and scrap separate. i figure you already knew that. you will get alot more for it as brass.

like they said. as long as it isn't recognizable as a vehicle, no fluids, no tires.

Old bronco body goes to the scrap yard, truck body goes on the bronco. Me and Travis discussed this, doesn't seem too hard. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, How hard can it be?

Why buy a whole truck if he is happy with his drive train and could get just the cab for essentially scrap value? I doubt he is against buying a whole truck

The bronco frame will be too short to use the bed from the truck...... unless he is just trying to copy cook....

I took a took a truck last week. All I did was cut the roof off, and pulled the fenders and doors. It still had the axle/frame/trans in it,and the motor went on top.... they never said a word to me about it.
