      @@brumbleyjerry8177 Just as a heads up. If someone calls it it’ll just go to voicemail and they’ll never get called back anyway. I just didn’t want people to think they were calling me when they weren’t, and then get upset when I never call them back.

    I think this has been my favorite "crush" video, Silas. I love seeing the cars get processed and made ready for recycling. In their condition, most are just junk on the land,representing some investment on which you should get a decent return. In honesty, and I know you have your reasons for saving many of the heaps, I think you save too many. Anyway, you know you business better than we do, so onward! THis is fun for us.

      Dear jimmasters
      👍👌👏 2) I think that something like that is still cool. A lot of people are rebuilding/restoring respectively building new custom vans out of normal ones Seeing this one getting crushed with all the cool and expensive accessories still on it, made me sick. A lot of people are searching for authentic parts and would've paid well. But unfortunately most of the scrapyard guys will never learn, sigh.
      Best regards, luck and health in particular.

    I'm still sick over that white one ton square that went thru you're system. I would have disassembled every nut and bolt on that dented body then saved that complete chassis w
    all 6 wheels and tires. I have 2 that I've been rebuilding and chasing parts for over 10 years now. Pennsylvania is just to far away for this old man! 😊
    Really enjoy your work and video's!

    Yeah, i understood what you said about that flatbed when i suggested cutting it down before, you have the title to that, truth is so what, you have to deliver the cab with the title, get a reciept from the crusher to get a trailer/salvage title, then you have to bend the tongue, weld it all together, haul it, get it weighed, and then take it to d,m,v, for a title, and nobody wants to give you anything for it, and at the end of the day, you have too much going on with the business, too cool! Have a good day!

    You crush a lot of vehicles with tires on them. When I was a kid there was a place in Sausage Illinois across from St Louis that had these huge mountains of old tires. Semi rigs would deliver trailer loads of them. You could smell them melting these old tires. My grandpa said they were using old tires to make new ones. One time one of those mountains caught fire and it burned for over a year. I always thought there was a market for old tires. Do you sell them?

    We crushed also cars without enige/gearbox rear axle , and no tires, we get a special price for the steel rims the are hard steel.also the aluminum rims. the empty tires are recycled , engine and gearbox we get a mix price, for aluminum/steel combination, i love that crusher.
