1962 gmc dump truck

thank you to all who responded to my question on thw weight of my 1962 GMC dumptruck.Never did find a trailer to tow it to the junkyard on.Put a sign on it that said "Scrap, make offer" Truck weighed 9,700 pounds.Junk yard just over the hill from me offered $200 to come and get it,amazingly they were not the lowest offer.Got several offers of $100.One for $300 from a guy wanting to make a woods truck out of it. (he got mad when I told him that using the the info I got from my question on YT that the truck weighed a minimum of 6,000 pounds and at the current sheared metal price of $215 a ton he wasnt even close). Closest realistic price was $350 from an independent scrapper.Waited a couple weeks for all the bids,ended up getting $170 a ton from a junkyard after deducting the transportation and tire disposal costs.During the two week bid period guy who wanted to make the woods truck stopped back and informed me scrap prices had taken a considerable downward turn and I was shame that I would scrap the truck whn someone had a use for it.If he had offered me $600 I would have taken it but he was firm on his $300 offer.I told him I felt the same way when I saw a tractor being scrapped but I always offer What I think it would be worth and most times I'm not able to sway the seller.On a side note one guy was restoring a 62 truck and needed an aircleaner.Sold him the aircleaner that didnt go with the truck for $10.00.

Howdy,
Didn't see your first thread, but I'm glad you live in NY.
I'm in IL, too far.
I'm always keepin my eye open for a 1962 something for a toy/relic as that was the year I was born.
Have no use for it other than that, but if you were closer I would've been lookin with cash in my pocket.
Thanks for living too far away, lol.
I've got too much stuff already, and medically can't do what I need to do anyways, lol.

Anybody else have a 1962 somethin' I don't need, but can finally fulfill a dream??? Don't mean to hijack the thread, but you could always emal at [email protected] if yer near Illinois and have a 1962 somethin that I don't need, lol. The smaller the better, probably, at this point--lol.
