Take good care of those, Don. They are only going up in value, and the West isn't making them any more, and the Russian stock has hit-n-miss quality.

I'm sure keeping all mine until.......

I took a look at ebay last night and was shocked at the prices that tubes were going for! From averaging out the prices it looks like they are worth at least $10 apiece, and some are in the 30-40 dollar range. These free tubes I just got should be worth over $8,000!

Not a bad day at all............


Morning Oregon Gang and friends!

Morning Rob. Sorry to hear that........You need some cash and a semi, and come out here. You could find all the goodies for your truck, and make some cash selling rust free parts back home.........

Not too long, luckily! Just over night. I guess this means I'd better get off of my ***, and get that stuff from him soon! Waiting for him to call me now, I might just buy the whole truck, it would be easier for both of us, if he'll sell it to me cheap.

That's what I'm thinking. I just hope he has a title for it, the scrap yards will no longer take them without titles.
