Scored these goodies out of 66 D600 for $10 gave the fella $10 more for a couple of brews, problem is I can't seem to get the smile off of my face.

Looks like a nice $200 score for your $20

You earned that "perma-grin" you're wearing!

Exactly! I'll never know how you pulled that off. Excellent find.

Well buddy at the local scrap yard here in Lethbridge calls me when anything Fargo or Dodge of the correct era crosses the scale for scap metal. I go in and take a look remove the pieces of value and walk across the scale holding them then go back in the office and pay his asking price. Its all priced by the weight not by what it actually is.
The visit before this one I peeled a pristine tinted windshield out of a D600 and walked away with it for $5 So fellow sweptliners deals can be had if you got friends in low places.

Humm.

If my frinds were any lower, they'd have headstones.

Reversing the scrap steel process !!! Recycling at its finest. Well done.

Thing is, I end up putting the whole truck back on the scale and take it home, I hate to see a swept get crushed.

I may need to get ahold of you, might be needing a few parts, and it seems you know where to get them. ;)
