Rob Van Vleet 950+ unrestored antique car and truck collection. Kraupies Auction Sidney, Nebraska!

[@timada8603]

Just to give you some insight. That is the Souix Ordinance Depot. It was used for ammunition storage and later became Western Nebraska Technical College that was merged with Western Nebraska Community College from Scottsbluff NE. They closed the school down. Rob Van Vleet Sr. was the owner of Convert-A-Ball trailer hitches. I used to know and work for Rob years ago.

[@timada8603]

Btw I wonder if the 1978 yellow Ford club cab still has the 572 Cadillac engine in it lol.

[@xmo552]

I use those.

[@scotcoon1186]

There was a navy ordnance depot at Hastings, the bunkers are being used for businesses and housing. I think Grand Island had a munitions plant, too. Both cities had rail service by both the CB&Q (now bnsf) and union Pacific railroads.

I really wanted to watch this video but those quacks every ten seconds drove me nuts.

[@carsonkelly2123]

Video was interesting but the DUCK quacks were very annoying!

[@Gary-pp7cb]

plus the guy doing all the brown nose talking is a know it all. telling the owners what they should list and how to sell items.

Came here to say just that! Wth was going on with that? 🦆 🥴🦆😵‍💫🦆🤨🦆😖🦆😤🦆😠🦆😡🦆🤬

[@briandrake9467]

I had no idea Nebraska had so many ducks.

[@scotcoon1186]

Tons of small ponds up in the sandhills, little over an hour from Sidney. Big lake on the North Platte at Ogallala, too.

[@sidcostello7532]

Someone needs to shoot them ducks!

It's a little annoying

[@michaelhoover3170]

And loud there was so (QUACK) MANY

[@coreyyoung186]

Thanks for letting us know about this auction after it's over

[@timhanson2080]

None of these KZbinrs tell you before the auction because they don't want anymore people bidding on something they want.

[@coffeeseven]

Actually my wife said thank you for telling me afterwards.

[@granthoule7418]

That right there is exactly why I never subscribe or like videos from creators of this type. Dude even bragging Ill probably be the 1 buying the most of this Ill be your big spender on auction day.

[@1982MCI]

@@granthoule7418 he’s young and has access to money and has that almighty high attitude. He needs lessons on how to deal and negotiate with us older codgers and many have a ton more money than this kid does but you’d never know it. They aren’t impressed with the younger crowds that wanna brag about what all they have and how much money is in their pocket. The number one rule to a successful negotiation with older, rich codgers that don’t look like they can pay their power bill is to be on their level!! You really have to be a chameleon. If you watch the brothers, they are not big talkers, they are not fast talkers, they are not braggers, and they don’t gloat about what they can buy or how much they can buy. You have to pick up on their style within seconds of meeting them and repeat their style otherwise you will turn them off within the first two minutes and won’t find their hood stuff, won’t get the good deals, etc. they do not like doing business with fast talking salesmen. While these guys do know what they are talking about with these old cars and trucks which is getting rare to find today, especially for pinger guys so they are to be commended for that but they’ve gotta learn how to talk to these types of folks face to face, not like they are texting or email. Sorry guys if you read this comment. You’ve got a lot of good things going for ya but you need to earn how to communicate with the older generations that made what your doing possible without offending them and I could tell that those two brothers were not impressed, especially when in the first minute of meeting them you say your gonna be their biggest buyer! Nope, they clammed up right then and there and your shot of getting any good deals that day went out the window. You don’t need to act like Richard Rawlings

[@acmaster244]

@@1982MCI I’m not exactly a “Old Codger” yet but I’m pretty close and I think the one old guy was pretty rude and unless I really needed what he had or needed to preview all that rusted out mostly junk in person I would have thanked him for his time and left. I’m actually surprised there’s even much of a market for that crap and I’m sure in the next 10-20 years any of it that gets restored will return back to the state of junk that it’s in now. That’s probably why that Richard Rawlings clown has come up with the “patina” look to fool the idiots that actually can persuaded clear coated rust and dents is “cool man” so he can save on the time and expense of actually restoring all those heaps of rolling trash he sells.

[@brianpeterson8667]

Those bunkers are actually a community; the only one in the world. A documentary was just on a couple days ago about it. Yeah, so thanks for letting anyone else know about the auction until after it was over.

[@jambocoo]

Wow !, talk about a cornucopia of nostalgia !, what a great find and you did an excellent job explaining everything we got to look at while you were going through it. That was a magnificent tour, thanks so much for sharing !.

[@BuySellTrade-g7i]

Your knowledge about these older trucks are on another level

[@gerhard6105]

That Rb van Vleet really honored his family name because in Dutch ( Rob van Vleet is a 100% Dutch name) " to have something by the vleet" means that you have a lot of it. So, Rob van Vleet has got cars by the vleet. The double ee is pronunced like in: ate

[@mattskustomkreations]

Nothing can replace showing up with some old cabs already on your trailer. Instant ice breaker.

[@HLife719]

Get rid of that duck quacking.

[@mikeschumacher9715]

Loved the walk through but could you turn that f'ing duck off? Damn!

[@andrewtimmerman9974]

The tops of the cabs get dented in because they where grain or cattle trucks and they would stand on the top while loading. I’ve stood on many truck cabs out in the field loading grain in central Nebraska.

[@danmcelroy6584]

wow lots of nice old vehicles. their won't be many more auctions like that.. rare stuff. wish I had wads of cash..

[@friguy4444]

5:57 Sure just skip over the incredible Snow Machine with the Propeller in the back!! Wow! Huge Ski's and all enclosed! LOL. I know there was so much great stuff there you couldn't stop for every great vehicle BUT MAN!! Or as one old, senile, Old, insane, evil and very OLD man once said "C' MON MAN!". LOL.

[@edsel6818]

Oh wow spectacular footage, I never knew this salvage place exsisted, and I'm only, bout 75 northwest of Sidney, we used to have several of these old trucks, great video, thanks for sharing this with me. 👍

[@luissantiago9564]

I've never seen so many old trucks together in one place.

[@imdeplorable2241]

Same here.

[@acmaster244]

That’s probably because 93% of it should have been melted down and turned into dog food cans sometime back into the 70’s like most of the vehicles of that era ended up as. It’s just a travesty these 2 old cranks were allowed to hoard all those hazardous waste leaking EPA nightmares ( or wet dreams depending on the particular government stooge ) that have destroyed the land they sit on for centuries to come!

[@coreyyoung186]

Don't mean to be brash I understand your on a road trip, thanks for showing all those cool old Fords

[@ricknapora5499]

U must have had the Aflac duck with u on this trip, heard him thru the whole video.

[@listenchannel1900]

Your comments are one thing - just wish you would lift the camera "to get the shot" the video says more than you can say. PLEASE let the camera do the talking.So glad you are out there doing this to help ALL of us to save these rides. Ride on America! Teach the young kids about this stuff.

Real hard to watch while using headphones. You need to mute that duck thing or at least turn the volume way down on it. Moving on, looked to be an interesting video. Good luck.

[@jstevens2127]

The yellow ext cab F250 could be a camper special, 1977 or 76 based on the split front grille. Those trucks are bringing top dollar. Would be a smart buy if you can get a decent price. In roadworthy shape they can go for $8-15k

The International Hood over engine dated back in 1950's or 1960's truck. The hauler/big truck 6 wheeler was a flat front truck usually Me worth or Mack 10 wheeler. Now the baton welder shop will chop down the pillar and wall/fender and frontal grille. It replace the whole fiberglass cab and fender together into the truck lower pillar chassis.where is was once all steel cab. The pan truck floor is still steel.

[@leeradford76]

[@rexfreelom4300]

The 1946 color green Chevy Cab over engine has a missing part barrister chrome of the grille. Make a sheet metal and Fab it then Daytona, FL will copper it and electrocuted the mirror finish nickel chrome plated.Finally grazed the brass rod and together the rib grille is complete. Do not find rare part because it's impossible to find and to auction the grille of classic cab over truck..Simply grazed it with silver or brass rod as a old timer yourself to save time and much better cups of tea.
