Back in the 70s my neighbor bought cars in Illinois and brought them here in Alabama to sell. I'm left handed and he found an expensive glove and gave it to me. I used it for many years.
A crisp twenty dollar bill in a white envelope under the carpet of a 1978 Cougar. Why it was under the carpet is not known, since most cars never have their carpet pulled up and the likelihood of someone finding it was slim. I was doing a dash mash up out of an older Torino. I rolled the carpet back for changing the heater core on the Cougar since the dash was out to be sure it didn't get leaked on. Me and buddy got drunk that night. Good times.
Years ago, going to the Pick A Part yards, there were unbelievabe amounts of treasure in the car trunks. I would completely forget why I came there in the first place. The one time I found $600.00 in a coin purse absolutely ruined me.
I work for a high end entry door company. We have the same issue with freight. They charge by the foot print of the crate, and the average height of the door is 80-96” on its side and they generally don’t weight much as far as freight goes. Also you pay more for a crate over 8 foot long, they are a different price class.
I grew up working in a junk yard and a scrap yard those were the days of my youth. I enjoy watching your videos takes me back to when I was younger in my own life
You need some ground up tree mulch to put on top of the mud it will help dry it out and if U put it in thick enough it will cut down on the dust when it drys out
The background music as you gently pulled that old Dodge off the trailer.... She is not dead. Some of that truck will live on for many many more years well done!
Thanks for the videos!!! You may enjoy using a plasma cutter to remove front ends and some parts. Will need a good 30 amp generator to power it. Thanks again!!
Hey Sy, great video keep up the good work. But you are losing money when you throw intakes valve covers, and alternators in with the breakage. They pay so muck more. FYI😮😊❤
I have been following you from the beginning when you first started posting your videos and I can tell youshould've been a professor and educator kind of like you are now showing this younger generation that there is a past in America tradition that we have values and we still fly the flag
the keys for the ford are most likely to be in the glove box somewhere .if not just go through old ford keys they didn't use many patterns so it would take minutes to find one that works if you have a bunch of old keys.
We used to pilfer in the cars at the salvage yard but we always wore our mule skin gloves or heavy work gloves because there was cars sometimes that had hypodermic needles in them also other sharp objects also we would be very careful putting our hands underneath the seat of the cars ! Please be careful
I bet that you could find free pallets. I know a lot places that set them out for free. Big lots is one place I can think of. You go get a truck load, maybe charge 12.00 each for them. That way it helps pay for your gas and time. I wonder if the keys are with the owner manual in the large envelope. I would give the clothes away. If someone would come pick them up let them have them. Just a thought.
If you’re doing head badges I found quickest way cut the crown n fork drop fork small chisel hammer knock the back of the rivets takes less than a minute with zero damage to the badge 😁👍✌️
Do you ever use the rolls of metal or plastic banding like a warehouse does for shipping? so you don't have to lose straps unless you get them back. You always have the best stuff laying around
i believe that you are getting better with that loader Bro Silas. it remined me of a time that i used to practice offshore with those 20 and 30 ton Hydraulic cranes putting the fast line ball into a 5 gallon bucket lol.
24:06 nice find ,i got one of those in perfect condition several decades ago for literally scrap .....it definitely didn't go in the brass ....went right into my collection
Clearing Your Dirty Alu - Yes - that Green/White Truck is a Beauty ! Demo that Trailer/House should be a very Interesting Video in it self - giving You all that Extra Room ! Cool Tool Bag full of Good Tools - well spotted ! You are a very busy Man and nice of You to offer that Person to work for You 2-3 Days a Week ! Enjoyable Video and many Cheers from Australia !!!! I found a Lead Zeppelin Toy as a small Child in 1948 - still have it !
18 years ago..I collected and brought home a backpack full of used scratchers..my preteen daughter and I began checking lottery losers initially we found a five dollar winner,then a one…then..Ten thousand dollars..pay attention people…the same year I found five ounces in a ziplock ..on the roadside…it was a good year.
It amazes me the precision you have with that loader, you put that transmission that was in the back of that SS on a pallet with a nose then its worth 500 dollars
I'd say the viewer that lied on you wants to or has someone they want to get the vintage trucks. The seller needs to be aware that the person doing that is dishonest and will eventually burn him too. Sad people are like that but money and jealousy makes people do shady stuff when they are weak.
the black belt with the h buckle in that bunch of clothes was hermes and is worth good money ,it would be worth your while to sell that if you can still find it .
Adventures Made From Scratch. Wow, at 11:55 into this particular video, as you’re looking at the old Dodge Truck, I can see in the background, to the left, a 1960 Dodge Coronet Sedan, light blue, I could be mistaken.......I haven’t seen one of these cars since about 1975. Classic car 🚙. If possible please video this car. Many thanks. ❤👍.
Silas, do you have a tire machine? Seems like it would be easier to hire someone part-time hourly to just break down tires at your place. Might make scrapping aluminum wheels more profitable?
Firstfirst couple years after world war II vehicle manufacturers recycled the 1941-2 models tooling for '46-49 models. Studebaker was the first company to have new style models since they already had 1943 model tooling started.
16:15 ,yup don't make any sense to ship heavyweight items cheaper than light items ,it cost me less to ship new GM transmissions in the wooden or plastic crates than sheet metal items
Silas your junk yard cabin interests me your winter is colder than mine maybe nice videos I like the mushrooms and winter scenes we don't have where I live
10:58 wow, such beautiful piano music! 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 ❓ How about donating the clothes to your church clothes closet? Years ago I stayed in a homeless shelter and was grateful to receive free clothing. 😂👍
But it's nice to have a good treasure hunt. Every time you throwing those rims away and tires I don't mean throwing them but recycling them, I cringe a little bit.
you dont remember i wrote you ill put shelves in that trailer looking like a issue of better homes and garden I'm coming on a adventure soon as I get these driving liscence I want to talk to a nc attorney try to get liscence in another state I'll be in touch Mr Silas great vidios God bless Vincent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Silas. Happy Easter. I always watch your videos including the shorts. I was just wondering do you have street lights to help you see at night? Sorry to hear that person screwed things up for you. You can't fix stupid. Maybe he was jealous of your dealings with him. Well hopefully things work out. Hello from Michigan. 😊
What's the most interesting thing you've found before? (Doesn't have to be found in a car)
Garden tool in a ditch, a Mario penguin critter by a soccer field, and lots of other stuff.
Back in the 70s my neighbor bought cars in Illinois and brought them here in Alabama to sell. I'm left handed and he found an expensive glove and gave it to me. I used it for many years.
Probably an iPhone five in a creek
Suitcase full of Playboy magazines on the side of the road.

I can’t believe Silas doesn’t have 1 million subscribers by now. This is always my favorite channel!
I totally agree with you... he will eventually gain more popularity in due time.
Jimm Morrison was right when he said people are strange but he was not talking about you and me Silas😂😂😂. I really enjoy your adventures.😅
AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😜 lols.....

Come on Silas I think I could see you at the yard with those bright red pants and those slinky shoe laces! 😂👍
😊
That bag of tools was an awesome find, always come in handy.

I always wanted to know the math on weather to leave the tires on the rim. Thank you. Great videos
The old 60 Ford is most certainly worth saving from a date with the crusher.
Good Afternoon There My Good Big Bro Silas Of Adventures Made From Scratch
You're Welcome So Very Much There My Good Big Bro Silas Of Adventures Made From Scratch
Thank You So Very Much There To Everyone Else

You may enjoy using a plasma cutter to remove front ends and some parts. Will need a good 30 amp generator to power it. Thanks again!!
He has, but doesn't like it
Hey Sy, great video keep up the good work. But you are losing money when you throw intakes valve covers, and alternators in with the breakage. They pay so muck more. FYI😮😊❤
That winch truck would make a great showpiece out front just the way it is.....
Yeah I agree

I'm glad that sno jet got saved,I'm in wisconsin or I would of been interested. I'm amazed by the number of old trucks out there in Kansas.
You shouldn't be amazed, as Kansas is 90 percent Farmland ... that's why so many trucks
Always fun watching you work Silas. Some great finds again!
I love this, Mike is fueling my brain. Even my wife is listening. He is a mad scientist/genius. F12 all the way.
Glad you got someone to help sir!!!
that belt on the trunk with the shoes if it was an original Hermes it retails around 700+
It's 10 pm here in England I like your videos you are amazing
Watching from Sheffield!
We used to pilfer in the cars at the salvage yard but we always wore our mule skin gloves or heavy work gloves because there was cars sometimes that had hypodermic needles in them also other sharp objects also we would be very careful putting our hands underneath the seat of the cars ! Please be careful
I like the loader moving vehicles around
Excellent silas happy Easter cheers 🥂 guys 😊

Time is money, and time is a valuable resource!
And it’s our most limited resource as well
24:06 nice find ,i got one of those in perfect condition several decades ago for literally scrap .....it definitely didn't go in the brass ....went right into my collection

I used to Banger race back in the 90's here in the UK and the Volvo bumpers where Aluminium might be worth looking at yours for breakage
Happy easter Peace out

28:14 Is Silas secretly a Roadrunner!? Meep-meep-meep-meep-meep-meep!
I can not believe that Jeep!!!! Where I am from those are worth mega money.
It’s hilarious that you have to dump “Silas-Trophies” in the snoot shipments. 😂
Host is my favorite❤❤ 0:53

Cool thanks for your time 👍😊
MORE TOYS!
Thankyou silas😂 I'd like some of your merchandise
the black belt with the h buckle in that bunch of clothes was hermes and is worth good money ,it would be worth your while to sell that if you can still find it .
Scrap that old trailer! What an eyesore and full of rot and water! Man, I get a cathartic thrill when you dump an amazing load of metal for sale.
Scrap those hubcaps-perfect remove them and toss straight into the 😊dumpster
The wrecker at 7:00 I liked it . The stuff on the bed is bonus. I heard $2000.

Can’t wait for the mud to dry up.
Durama v covers pcm and fuel filter housing
my brothers had a snojet like that when i was little.
Love having that tiedie tshirts from Indiana
Out here in Idaho you just don't see a lot of the older trucks a lot now. Most are crushed
Those truck beds could be made into trailers for your lawn mower and other stuff
I haven’t owned a lawn mower in years actually.
If the person that sold that old 1940's ford to silas he would never give out locations that he does videos on hes a good guy
Big Love From Virginia 🙏 Jesus Christ lives in me and you ☝️🇺🇲 Great Channel love the family and the Content .!🙏
You should get a tire shredder and put the shredded rubber on top of your roads. Is that a good idea?
19:35 ,nice clean truck
Very busy video Silas Happy Easter
