I watch the auctions here in Illinois and everything goes for crazy high prices with 200,000 miles and tons of rust. The prices at these auctions where rock bottom for great vehicles. The prices at these auctions is how much stuff would sell for with blown engines here because the body of these trucks are not all rusted out.

[@Kentboy05]

Same in Alberta, These are pennies on the dollar type prices right here. The scrap value alone is more than most paid

This is where us Northeasterners make huge profits. Go down South and bring back the rust free stuff and sell it for 25-35% more and people will fight to give you cash. Now that California limits their registration for old trucks, I can fly out and get a rail car full of metal back to the right coast and make 25k in a month without even trying. People in the rust belt don't care about mechanical BS, they care about structural integrity. Although getting 3406 B Cat motors in the truck for 2500 running in Cali is just the icing on the cake, lol. Double the price and I still have the trans, rears and parts on top!!
