    Hey Silas, anyone who watches more than one of your videos would never accuse you of planting things for a video, you work too hard and have so many projects going on that are profitable.

    I had a red and blue checkered shirt exactly like that in high school in the late eighties. I can't believe that style has come back around. I wore mine for probably two years until the red turned pink from washing it all the time.
    Yours will do the same

    Those Pontiac Montana vans, and some other Pontiacs- The gaskets that were put in the engines, Dextron ate them up so they broke down. I forget how many years those gaskets were installed. I know this because I had one. It would have cost $3,500 to have the engine rebuilt. I had put new Michelin tires all around. Had less than 1000 miles on them. We gave the van to a family with 3 kids. The daddy was a good enough mechanic he rebuilt the motor. They got many years out of it and really appreciated it. I always enjoy your videos, love it when you get to look through the vehicles 😉 You are a very hard worker. Stay safe and GOD bless.

    Like the van adventure. I noticed decent looking seats.
    FYI those 3rd row seats make a good back seat for some of those 30"s cars your hanging on to. Save some and throw them in with the sale along with a small block . You have all the parts a street rodder needs just put a kit together. I know you don't have the time. It was just a passing thought I had.
    Love the channel.

    Silas, sorry to keep going on about what the old trucks go for in uk ,i know its getting them here ect but someone is doing it, ive got to mention the old Hilux in back ground ,they are mega rare here never see one even in the rusty state that one is in still fetch £ no not telling you ,

  • @gregory1953able
    @gregory1953able 3 года назад

    I like the white Valliant that was on top over from the truck. They are great cars especially The 225 Slant Six. I think the one you have looks to be around a 68 to 70 model. It is older than 73 because the front bumper is close to the body.

    • @jeromewysocki8809
      @jeromewysocki8809 3 года назад

      The Valiant was a great car. I owned several, and ran them until they could be fixed no more. I sold my last one to a guy who bought it for spare parts, to keep his Valiant running. He told me his Valiant had 465,000 miles on the original 225 slant six engine. That did not surprise me, even although mine had 125,000 miles on it. Wish I could find another one. They were so easy to fix and keep running, as long as the body didn't rust out badly.

  • @bgerstman4944
    @bgerstman4944 3 года назад

    I bet the drivers you load don't see very many people cover the tops of the top bundles like you do. Nice to see someone else actually cares about what they put on the trk. When I used to wrap cars the drivers would ask if they could come back to get more of my loads. Most people who crush cars don't care or whenever taught the correct way to crush, check for loose debris, then wrap and load. Most people think you just put a car in the crusher and push the button.

      Most of the u pulls around here went bankrupt and we bought them out by crushing instead of selling parts. Just no market for it here.

    • @JL-bs6yz
      @JL-bs6yz 3 года назад

      Here in Moncton New Brunswick we have a couple U-Pull yards Some parts are good deals other parts I can buy aftermarket for the same price. The larger yards don’t allow people to walk through and look around. They deal with local shops and insurance. Trying to sell parts wouldn’t be fun. People want it for nothing then want a year warranty on a used part.
