Thread: 1972 Chevy K30 Longhorn Build

I started thinking I'm kind of glad I haven't finished the bed on this dude yet. I've been using the snot out of it hauling all kinds of odd stuff. My parent's have an old barn that the roof went to crap on and it finally fell in after a big wind storm sometime this summer. Of course this was a building we used for storage. It has the Farmall H my Dad, Grandpa, and I repainted when I was in 4-H. The rest is just extra parts and stuff I need to go through and liquidate any how. Now I have no choice. I'd like to get the Farmall out of there before it is toast. Dad tore it down many years ago to rebuild the engine and he never finished it. I'd like to get it at least in my shop before snow flies so I can determine what I want to do with it. I'm hoping to build a lean to up before it gets bad out but we'll see how that goes....

I called a few places to see about getting a dumpster dropped off. The cheapest place was $480 plus about $150 more for other fees. I opted for the cheaper option B. I'll just load the orange truck and take it to the dump when it's full. The landfill is only about 4 miles from Mom and Dad's place, and they only charge $21/ton. Today's load was only $19 and was 1500lbs. I doubt I get to the $600 mark doing it this way. I'll probably throw bigger pieces on my trailer after I haul scrap in.
