I seen the thumbnail and figured id watch a sad video of crushing old treasures. And cuss you out afterwards for doin it. Extremely happy to see i was very wrong. Thank you for saving anything you could. And thanks for the knowledge on some of the rigs.
Ain't no shame in taking time for yourself. Nobody's gonna get upset. Don't change for us. You are the one we want to see happy with your family. God bless you.
I would do the volunteer system. Work for a old antique vehicle. As a matter of fact, I just rejoined my local volunteer fire department after 22years of not running.
Silas, do you ever get to see the restorations made from the junkers you've sold? It would be fun to see the old hulks and what is made as a restoration. Man, I have to say it has been great watching the incoming wrecks go out as scrap income. It has been fun watching the intake and the output.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch4:47 Speaking of dump beds, you'd love to see an old movie 🎥 called: I'm a Fugitive From a Chain ⛓️ Gang with Paul Muni. He was the original Scar Face. The movie features a dump truck in an action scene. Not suitable for small children.
Silas. Those black locust tree thorns DO NOT burn !!!! They just get super brittle. Flat tire city for years. I burned three trees before my old neighbor warned me about the tre thorns. I raked and raked dug and buried, plus had to fence off area ti keep horses and cows out so would get bad feet wounds and absesses. After 5 yeats i gave up and yurned yhat half acre into wlld blackberry patch for me, the birds ,critters and horses that can reach over fence. And horse fertilizer spreading spot Enjoyed this and all your other videos. Grandkids really enjoy your "loader speed runs " in the yards. Thx gw
I like your videos. I work at a pick n pull yard. We have cars from 2017 to 1980. It's exhausting and filthy dismantling these cars. Let alone customers thinking you have every car, every part, every part is working. No tools we don't pick parts. We don't inventory parts. Over 1000 vehicles. They don't understand we cant keep track of parts. We had 50 percent off for four days during labor days. Nothing left. It's in the yard for a reason. so I appreciate how hard you are working. We charge 2$ to get in. Alot of stealing. People jumping fences. Pack packs. They don't get charged .
Sakes alive!!!!!!! We have so many different vehicles manufactured over the years. I remember those big trucks from when I was a little tyke and viewed many Studebaker trucks as they were a bread-and-butter sales vehicle for Studebaker. Mt Dad sold off some pine trees for pulpwood when we were living up in the Atlanta Ga area (Tucker Ga). Those pulpwood trucks were mostly single axle 11/2-ton Chevrolets and Dodges and Fords. These trucks mostly were just a basic cab (no doors) and no fenders (only a hood over the engine) The good ole boys that drove them were safety conscious as they had seat belts which consisted of a rope to keep them tied into the truck. Of course, that would not fly these days but back in the nineteen fifties it wasn't as tightly regulated as today. I have a 1946 GMC 11/2 truck I acquired over forty years ago. Installed a SBC with a turbo 400 transmission and of course it just rests in the shop, but i have driven it and it doesn't ride half bad. The rest of the truck is original but well used and I have done the brakes and the kingpins. Hate to see these trucks cut up especially the ones that are in pretty good shape but also understand that people do not want original drive trains and such and of course you are a businessman, and you do what is best for your livelihood. Your price on these trucks is pretty reasonable but the transportation costs factor in and I am sure that, that turns a lot of people off, but it is what it is as far as what it costs to operate a transportation business. That is of course not your fault, it is just a legitimate transportation company has high costs. Most people do not realize that transportation for hire is a highly regulated industry. Ask me how I know.
5:23 You're almost right - its a 1969 Ranger - the grille, bright-work, and wood-grain trim in the interior are the distinguishing elements for the Ranger trim package. Definitely not a 1967. 1967 had 4 grille bars that were all equal size and spacing whereas 1968-69 had 2 upper and 2 lower grille bars separated by a wider center bar. The 1969 Ranger grille had a distinct feature in the red stripe and emblem on the center bar. They also had black paint on the headlight doors. 1698 Rangers had the emblem but no red stripe and headlight doors had no paint. Sorry - I know I come off as a geeking maniac here - but 1968 is my favorite Ford truck. Spotted a couple other gems: 16:52 1963-66 Carryall/Suburban 16:57 1964-65 Thunderbird
I am always amazed at the wealth of knowledge you have. You can look at a rusty old part and know it goes to some obscure year vehicle. Wow your crazy smart
Dodgebaker, I like it, it kinda looks like a cartoon. 🤪 17:41 Thats an impressive crush! Thanks Silas! 🤠👍 (I missed this somehow, notifications are on! 🤔)
Do only what you have to do , your videos are always interesting and a joy to watch . You should never have to apologize for making a living , Its your chosen profession and what you enjoy doing . Thank you for the time you put in filming and editing it is much appreciated . Stuart in Canada ..
Hi Silas, your prices are really good that truck at $1500 is really good one back here in uk that don’t look as good priced over £6000 which in dollars would be over $10000, be nice to turn one of them big farm trucks into a classic car hauler to take to the shows with a nice classic car on the back keep the videos coming they are really good and seeing all the old vehicles coming in.
The camper special ford is either a 1968 or a 1969. A good way to tell is the marker lights on the hood. 67 didn’t have the orange reflectors in the emblems. 1970-1972 had a metal grille with plastic inserts.
Yay! It's finally over (at that yard!) I'd love to see what's the situation in the other yard. Maybe there's some later model cars that you can play a game with! Will it sell within a weekend? Or will it be scrapped? I hope you can save the front ends off of later model cars because they're nostalgic these days! If possible, maybe save a few 80s and 90s classics!
near me there is a junkyard that does what you do. but near the front they line up trucks for sale that people may want. near the road you should do the same thing. it would also add character to the entrance.
And you kept or sold all the cool stuff silas because you save more old iron than anyone I know .Yet people hate but it's your stuff & ultimately your choice .Yourself & let's dig 18 are the only channels I've being subscribed to for more than 4 years. Awesome content & more adventures made from scratch is also awesome especially the mushroom hunts .Hi from Ireland 😊
You`ve still got the Peugeot 504`s! You should advertise them on the forums, I`m sure theres people who would jump on them as projects, probably both at once! In fact, they are still in demand in Africa, if you know any exporters..
Man, seeing that white and blue 68-69 ford Ranger made me tear up!! Up here in Michigan, that truck would be considered extremely solid! $1500 bucks?? Sniff.....loook forward every week to seeing your vids. Keep up the good work!
Dear Mr. Silas. 👍👌👏 Well done again. I like this place very much and I'm eagerly looking forward to see you removing all the stuff you mentioned. I would so much like to help you with the trees etc. but there is still that big pond between us. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
How to flatten a Car without the Crusher - go and get Silas with his Front Loader ! Great Video and Cheers from Australia !!!! PS - Congrats on all the enormous Amount of Cars - Trucks - Tractors etc You have crushed over the last 2 Month or so - a Brilliant Effort !!!!
I am so glad that you attempt to save what you can. Because I know of yards where they will not sell anything and all they do is recycle. Legal reasons not wanting to mess with it not knowing its value as Parts just not interested whatever reason is I can think of one in particular the stack of trucks I saw could easily be part it out on the internet and a couple of weeks time for 4or 5 times what they get out of it and scrap value. Now I don't part out either. That's $85,000 in scrap prices at $100 a ton! Congratulations! Plus whatever you got out of the converters and everything else. The fact that you can make this kind of money with quantity and you still take the time to save the old ones as you can and sell them is quite commendable. Also it makes you a little more money even though they extra-time may not always be worth it individually. I'll finish watching this episode after it gets dark I got something to get done 👍. Fantastic that you do take your time to save what you can save with parameters. Oh there's a lot of expenses you got upkeep on equipment got got to pay rent got paid land payments you have to buy the equipment. Harvard loans hear your father. The money definitely goes quickly.
Great work, hopefully scrap prices will come up soon so the bundles can leave before the winter. Your videos are always enjoyable and for all ages. There are a couple of channels I really like but they aren’t for little kids due to language
I've been through Kansas on my way to work in the Oklahoma panhandle. Coming from Ohio, people all around the country love to shit on my homestate, but I'm certain it takes strength to live there. It's most likely the most flat/ featureless landscapes of all 50 states. I would actually get excited to see a tree or a rock, anything. 99.8% farms and fences border to border. Not to mention the weather. It's beautiful skywards and unlike anywhere else in the world but I salute you.
Oh my it was so hot over here in my area of Pennsylvania. Yesterday we had very bad storms and hail. My car has some damage but not bad. Our county fair got hit hard yesterday. 30 vendors stands was destroyed by the storm.
I like the crushing but I really watch to see the cool old vehicles and tractors etc. You put in ur videos and the history/information you can give about them I like you wouldn't mind a break from monotonous crushing
A van like that would make a tiny home, I know it didn't work for Red Green but he tried fitting a huge couch into his van... so he ended up backing the van up to a house and made it seem like he made the van into a mobile home but you see him driving the van away without the backdoors.
The ford isn't a camper special sorry to burst the bubble. But camper special fords have the tool box in the bed side so you can have tools and straps when the camper is installed in the bed . 😮
I think you need to find one of those grain bins and turn it into a outdoor pool for your bus. Then you can get yourself one of those slides and go right off the top of that bus into your grain bin pool. Maybe open up the top opening and put a flat deck up there then you can put up a mosquito net and watch the Stars at night. Sky's the limit. When's your next video?
Are those two Peugeots behind you at 16:25? They are very popular in much of Africa but obviously if you can't find a local buyer then, sadly, they will eventually go the way of the rest.
i just started a new job. if it holds out and i can save a little. im 100% getting a nice older truck from you to rat rod. if i lived closer i would legit pay you to let me where their so i could have access to parts you would ok me using to build rat rods. my jaw just drops every time i watch these videos. i live in upstate ny we dont have junk yards near me that i can easily go to or even want to go to... im extremely jealous i cant live in an area with a junk yard
I been looking for a Ford dully like the one u crushed. U should employ a yard care taker to fix vehicles for u for room & board someone that eats sleeps breath mechanics this doesn't have time to pay bills
I seen the thumbnail and figured id watch a sad video of crushing old treasures. And cuss you out afterwards for doin it. Extremely happy to see i was very wrong. Thank you for saving anything you could. And thanks for the knowledge on some of the rigs.
Ain't no shame in taking time for yourself. Nobody's gonna get upset. Don't change for us. You are the one we want to see happy with your family. God bless you.
that ford is a good candidate for a first wash video, could clean up well
I’d love to come visit/volunteer for a week one day when I visit the states again
Y’all just weird.
same
I think you just got yourself a job. If Silas reads it. Volunteers always a good job applicants credential
I’d work for scrap value on a late 70’s ford truck
I would do the volunteer system. Work for a old antique vehicle. As a matter of fact, I just rejoined my local volunteer fire department after 22years of not running.
Glad to see you try to save anything old of value. Thanks for the content.
I will always make time to watch your videos Silas! Great job on your progress with your yard, looks awesome!
Got some Irish weather there, if you don't like it - hang on a minute 😅. Thanks again for your content. Love it.
Congratulations are in order for you Silas. It's quite a milestone.
Loved that old Studebaker truck...😊 Just don't have room for it in California. ❤
Silas, do you ever get to see the restorations made from the junkers you've sold? It would be fun to see the old hulks and what is made as a restoration. Man, I have to say it has been great watching the incoming wrecks go out as scrap income. It has been fun watching the intake and the output.
Every once in awhile
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch4:47 Speaking of dump beds, you'd love to see an old movie 🎥 called: I'm a Fugitive From a Chain ⛓️ Gang with Paul Muni. He was the original Scar Face. The movie features a dump truck in an action scene. Not suitable for small children.
I do like seeing scrap metal like washers, dryers, dishwashers and lots of shreddable metal being crushed with the cars. Great videos.
Your style to make videos is cool and relaxing. Thank you for that.
Silas. Those black locust tree thorns DO NOT burn !!!! They just get super brittle. Flat tire city for years.
I burned three trees before my old neighbor warned me about the tre thorns. I raked and raked dug and buried, plus had to fence off area ti keep horses and cows out so would get bad feet wounds and absesses. After 5 yeats i gave up and yurned yhat half acre into wlld blackberry patch for me, the birds ,critters and horses that can reach over fence. And horse fertilizer spreading spot

A lot of work .
Fun to watch .
Salute from PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷
Very good video. Drone shoots are great more old iron being saved. 🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
That ranger was badass. Someone got a great deal on it.

I kept the front of a 78 firebird. Making into a wall hanger for sale, u th8nk people actually want that stuff?
You crushed it ! Literally & figuratively
OMG two Peugeot 505 wagons! Very cool.
That 41 Chevy, I was interested in the mirror frame on the door and the rear window drivers door
near me there is a junkyard that does what you do. but near the front they line up trucks for sale that people may want. near the road you should do the same thing. it would also add character to the entrance.

Awesome video Silas
😂 Im glad youre drone is still in function after soaking in the rain,nice footage!
Hi Silas, just buy a brush hog at an auction, pretend it's an airplane fuselage or a grain bin....
Well Silas if I had room for the unibody Ford I would have bought it. I had one before. Nice trucks
You`ve still got the Peugeot 504`s! You should advertise them on the forums, I`m sure theres people who would jump on them as projects, probably both at once! In fact, they are still in demand in Africa, if you know any exporters..
4:40 I see the break down of your metal parts business , rat rod guys prove to be the inventors of the reused rust o mods .
You are doing a great job !
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

It’s actually not even in the top 10 flattest states
Great Salis that is a lot of crushed cars and a lot of weight thank you for sharing and your time and can't wait for next video
Oh my it was so hot over here in my area of Pennsylvania. Yesterday we had very bad storms and hail. My car has some damage but not bad. Our county fair got hit hard yesterday. 30 vendors stands was destroyed by the storm.
This has been a great series and I have enjoyed every moment of it.
I like the crushing but I really watch to see the cool old vehicles and tractors etc. You put in ur videos and the history/information you can give about them I like you wouldn't mind a break from monotonous crushing
462 cars is a job man! Crazy! But I love to watch it, which is crazy too.
Put a refrigerator in the car crusher! 😊
A van like that would make a tiny home, I know it didn't work for Red Green but he tried fitting a huge couch into his van... so he ended up backing the van up to a house and made it seem like he made the van into a mobile home but you see him driving the van away without the backdoors.
If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you opened the rear of that Chevy truck.. The Ghosts came running out creating that wind... Hope they are good ghosts :D
This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻
I follow your adventures you post on facebook also. Love watching all the people cry when they wont put money where their mouth is.
I always love watching your channel
Awesome video as always 😂😂😅
Incredible!!!
Great content as always. Love watching your videos.
Love the vids
Heads up from southwestern ontario, it was 13 degrees c this morning, and the leaves are starting t change ;)
The Red FORD van at 16:49 are worth a decent amount of money here in PA . Maybe advertise it ???
Dang I liked that Studebaker truck !
19:56 Whats the deal with the blue 90s trans am?
What was the red Chevy pick up with red lights used for? Tell me more about the cutter too
The ford isn't a camper special sorry to burst the bubble. But camper special fords have the tool box in the bed side so you can have tools and straps when the camper is installed in the bed . 😮
That sudden blast of wind was big Bertha. Yep, she cut the cheese.
What are those
wagons at 16:25
At least you got some all of your most of the cars crush that you wanted to get🎉😊
I think you need to find one of those grain bins and turn it into a outdoor pool for your bus.

some here pa wind rain and hail today all sunny
Ford for $1500 was a pretty good price. Thanks for showing!
Are those two Peugeots behind you at 16:25? They are very popular in much of Africa but obviously if you can't find a local buyer then, sadly, they will eventually go the way of the rest.
Lots of info today. Great video
i think i saw a house fly past lol
i just started a new job. if it holds out and i can save a little. im 100% getting a nice older truck from you to rat rod. if i lived closer i would legit pay you to let me where their so i could have access to parts you would ok me using to build rat rods. my jaw just drops every time i watch these videos. i live in upstate ny we dont have junk yards near me that i can easily go to or even want to go to... im extremely jealous i cant live in an area with a junk yard
I been looking for a Ford dully like the one u crushed. U should employ a yard care taker to fix vehicles for u for room & board someone that eats sleeps breath mechanics this doesn't have time to pay bills
I love the old 41 46 chevy truck
What a bunch of iron crushed ! Good job !
What was the "Crossville Flea Market" painted reference on the crushed vehicle?
HOLY CRAP!
Please try & sell the vintage tractors.
I enjoy watching what ever you want to film .
GOD IS GOOD GOD IS GREAT GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
Trailer brakes were set to strong and skidded the tire. Turning a corner ain't doing that. Love the videos, thank you for making them
Was this old drone footage?...or did you get the drone working again after being left out in the rain?
Cool.
Hello sir. I saw that while GEO Tracker in the video out straight ahead in front of the loader is it for sale? Let me know. Have a blessed day.😊👍
congradlations
I could have used that OBS Ford F350 dually bed fender. Crushed oh that hurt.
Can you rent a brush hog? Great job getting caught up some.
I need the hubcaps off of the 68 F250 camper special.
