That one came with the rear end messed up, that’s how it ended up in the yard to begin with... the owner kinda likes the thing, he just doesn’t have the time or reason to put it back on the road at the moment, he had it running a few years ago... that’s one of the few where if someone needs a piece off it then as long it’s not something important he’ll let you have it, but leave it in one piece for the most part. He’s got other Superdog parts in his back lot if anybody wants stuff like that... Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the owners mentality, he basically tells a few guys he knows to come get what they can off it because he doesn’t want to waste anything still good on it... especially if someone needs it!

When I'm done with something, or it's nothing I can use, it usually finds someone that can get further use of it even if small parts. I've donated a lot of chassis' to friends rather than run them over the scales; even when the price of scrap was nuts.

mowerman Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Seems the biggest problem with most of those cool yards is everybody that needs that stuff is usually way far away and nobody has time to break away and travel that far to bad i’m sure he could sell everything in there if he was closer to most of us... bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, frame on the officer side is bent up right around the motor, he’s keeping the engine and trans for a rollback he’s building, he’s putting the rear end and drive shaft for his collection of those parts in case people need them, the body is all rusted through you just can’t see it because I’m good at hiding just enough to make it look nice in the pictures... It’d need a lot to restore... like, you’d need an entire other truck just to restore this one, only thing I can think of is maybe somebody could hack up some of the front metal for replacement panels to weld on an F cab (I learned today trying to rip that big chrome front off that it’s basically an F cab with the old grill covered up, I always thought it was just a different cab with the top half of an R model used)... and if you were to go through that trouble you might be able to get just a few more things off of it... the pump was also all rusted through and I got what I could off it which was just a few valves... what’s left that’s nice on that truck you’d have to destroy to get it off thanks to all the rust... we cracked the one windshield trying to get it off because of how bad the thing was...
