    Sorry but you have a lot to learn about salvage. Just in that driver's door you had your money back in components window $500 window regulator $300 door card $300 door switch gear $100 hinges $75 . Thats without considering door handles and locking mechanism.

    For people thinking this was a bad deal, don't forget the monetization he gets from all of us watching him tear it down. There's content value right there.
    If it were me, I'd be removing all the fiddly bits, clips, screws, etc. Stuff that is always going missing in rebuilds. Relays, wire harness sockets, spring hangers, air bags in back, and so on. Doesn't seem like much, but that stuff adds up.

      Yeah not sure if he is running a "parts" business or just a click view business. I will tell you this. I watch another channel called Watch JR Go. He started a side business apart from his reg stuff stripping cars down for parts. Right away he could see, I mean in real time his RUclips numbers dropped like a million pound rock. Guess what, He still parts out cars but he never shows it because it's a RUclips money loser. Heck how much was that perfect door gasket drivers side door worth to somebody.

    I'm absolutely not a hater, but I think he's wasting quite a bit of money by being silly with a telescopic handler. There were plenty of reusable parts such as window and computer boxes that are still there and are still worth some money. In my opinion, it's nice to see you completely dismantling trucks but do it more responsibly.

    Well when someone says 'its not worth the effort' to remove and store complete rear axles then you just know this is NOT about making money. Its about that thing called 'content'.
    That door alone had very usable parts like trim, motors and even that window that was carefully smashed.
    Salvaging even for scrap metal and plastics takes time and effort and well we know Bruce only does stuff 'real quick'.
    Such a damn shame because that truck would have made two episodes and had piles of saleable scrap and parts if done right.

    Bruce there's a bunch of things. I've seen that you just destroyed that you might be able to salvage and sell like that. Door the window in the door the glass from the door maybe you'd better get a 100 bucks for that. I mean wouldn't take 15 minutes, maybe to take that door off and get to windshield the window out of there. That bear, maybe you could try to salvage. Some of the harnesses and not destroy everything.

    I’ve read some of the comments and there is value there. These don’t know the wrecking business. Back in the day I worked in a truck wrecking yard. They need drop boxes for aluminum, cooper , steel. I’m not sure but the left side fuel tank if not dented is resealable. Even if it’s dented somebody might use for a storage tank for something. The primary driveshaft looked ok. The engine and transmission. I guess the engine had a hole in the block so but the head and some internal parts are probably good and the transmission might be good as a core rebuild. Now the rear axles. We used to cut the frames just in front of the rear axles and then remove the wheels then stack the hole axle combine in stacks 5 high. Most of the time we’d part out the axle assemblies for the third members to be used as rebuilding as reman’s. Or just sell as is. Then there’s the hubs, axle shafts that have value but these guys need a system in place. There is a lot of owner / operators working on a shoestring budget that need parts. Then they parted it out right in the middle of the shop and F up a clean new cement floor how stupid is that. These guys are want to be truck salvage guys right now.

    Hello y'all. I know the beeper is for safety. But I'm sure you guys agree. It's loud in an annoying way...

    If you know people will buy the parts I would scrap everything off it you can, including rear end gears. An once you have some inventory start getting rid of it all.

    Actually that's a goodbye.You gotta transmission that's worth probably about four thousand and you've got an motor that is worth four or five thousand, Differential parts that's worthe.French report says worth at least two thousand, Anyone that says it's a bad bye doesn't understand the salvage.

    The quick camera movement is making me fast forward a lot.
    Anyway that truck should have went straight to a salvage yard as I wouldn’t trust a single item left on it. plus there really isn’t any money to be made in that would be worth the time to strip it apart.
