CHOMPY Hard At Work
It's hard to imagine any junkyard crushing un damaged rust free cabs but it's a daily event .
I needed a cab for my 1969 C/10 and my favorite junkyard said "begins at $700 and goes up " ~ instead I bought a near perfect cab with title for $350 and the junkyard got $35 in scrap value..... Some are kinda stupid ~ when I ran a junkyard I never had much inventory because I SOLD EVERYTHING CHEAPLY ~ DUH . |

Where The Scrap Metal Goes....
Actually, I don't know where scrap metal goes anymore .
I'm old so it used to mostly go to Japan, maybe China now ? . When I ran a tiny VW oriented junkyard I had enough $ that I gave the scrap metal (bodies & cores) to a junkyard down the road, the always treated me well and often gave me old VW's they didn't want to be bothered with . |

There are steel mills in Arkansas that melt scrap and shredded steel to make new bridge beams ect. At present I have 16 square cab trucks that I am actively parting out. Most where setting and Rotting that I saved from going to the scrapper.

Junkyarding
You're prolly in a good place, selling much needed parts .
I had a VW Shop in a College town and wasn't greedy so I did pretty well . Most junkyards moan and ***** about never making enough $ then periodically clean out the yard of parts they'd refused to sell affordably, crush everything for scrap value then begin anew . I just sold parts, few had much $, I sold the hell out of everything and made a decent living . I don't want to deal with Customers anymore . I tried the swap meet thing for a while and never made less than $1,000 a day after gas, entry fees and lunch for me and my son.... There too I sold, didn't waste too much time asking high prices . All I had was a short bed1/2 ton pickup so no huge piles o' stuff to take, I rarely brought home more than a milk crate or two of left overs . |

There's no conspiracy, there was cash for cars, every where not just California .
What I was talking about is ignorance, greed and stupidity . |
