Ok so heres some pics from todays adventure. Took a load of scrap truck rearends down to Schnitzer Steel. Total trip was around 40 miles. Total weight of the truck was 9800 pounds, and i had 4000 pounds of steel on the back. A great day! Truck is a 1942 Dodge WF-32 2-1/2 ton. Original 236 flathead 6, 90 horsepower at 3600 rpm. 4 speed and single speed rearend. Got a few real funnly looks driving through tacoma!

I use to haul my small M.F. backhoe (~5000lbs) to job sites on my 48 1.5 ton. Worked great but couldn't be in a hurry.

How much did they pay for the scrap ?

Right on!

I just love seeing old cars and trucks being used — for their original purposes — in everyday life.

Yeah,the old business coupe's big trunk comes in handy when it's firewood gathering season. Gonna need some 8 ply tires next time though.

Took another load in. Not as heavy, right around 1800 pounds. Still money in the pocket. Total trip is about 45 miles, and it burns 5.6 gallons. Right around 8 miles to the gallon.

in the cab waiting in line.
