I was also thinking about distance, and cost of purchase, transport, etc.

Those trucks just look rusty in those pictures, so to me most of the sheet metal would need lots of your loving care, or total replacement. If the trucks were in your backyard, and the yard guy wanted $50 each for them I would agree with you. If they are 500 miles away, and the yard owner wanted $1,000 each they would rot right where they were.

I was just commenting that given distances involved, and purchase costs, most folks are not going to run over there for a spring shackle, and only a serious collector would run down from MN to GA to buy up a pile like that.

Though I applaud your efforts at saving the old iron, not everyone has your impressive skill set.

Keep up the great work!

Eric
