YIKES! We Cut up a FUEL TANKER Truck with a TORCH! (Will it Crush?)

[@barbfrank917]

Silas, when I saw the drone shots, I thought it looked like match box cars lined up so neat, then you told your story when you were a kid. So you are living your childhood ❤ never miss an episode ❤🙏

[@tmajcan94]

Perfect way to close out the weekend Silas. Really cool pieces you guys cut up. And it's great that you save the remaining pieces to help other cars. Great stuff as always!

[@harryellis8873]

Friend owned a scrap yard and he could not keep up cars stacked four high and you have got to have social time some nice cars and pickups you would think there is someone out there who wants parts and you have them ✌✌

[@dave-uf8ir]

Excellent vido getter dun silas 😊

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Cool The back of the tank was very cool thanks 👍😊

[@TerryAllen-c4p]

The back piece you cut off the tanker could make a good chair. A good conversation piece.

[@patdesrosiers6423]

The couch made from the back of the tanker would make a great wedding photo setting. A little paint and either custom upholstery or an appropriately sized car seat. You should have or come across some 1000# casters like the ones I put under my rollaway toolbox to move it with. As you said, it looks really heavy. Great video, cheers from Denver

[@erichorsan6993]

You put enough in the video to make me very happy. The crushing and loading. But wait, there's more. You had me laughing. With the heavy item in the car "as long as he doesn't speed up and then slam the brakes. I saw that in my head. Very funny. Then when you crushed the tanker. Round one, round two, round three, good enough. Had me going also. Great video.

[@gregoryreffitt7957]

The first black Caddillac is a 56 and the 2nd is a 63. The bumper on the taillight is straight up and down and the 64 is a slight angle from top to center and then angle back to bottom.

[@Mr.Howell78k]

Yes, those trailers sound interesting. Plus any auctions coming up. I enjoyed your boyhood story!

[@richellen6855]

Silas, I loved the story of your childhood junkyard!! You're a lucky young man to have found the dream that meant so much to you! Thanks for letting us all ride along with you :)

[@marioncobaretti2280]

In the 70,s i worked with an older auto mechanic who would solder metal car fuel tanks with fuel in them using an acetylene torch. The trick was he would start another vehicle, take an exhuast hose from the running car and attach it to the tank. He said as long as you fill the air space with carbon monoxide the fuel would never burn. I witnessed it several times

[@charlesstockford6003]

To this day we weld on natural gas pipes under pressure and never with the pressure shut off. Pressure keeps the flame from getting into the pipes.

[@sxelectro]

as always a great Video thank you Silas, have a nice evening with the family

[@JohnShinn6078]

Stayin tuned! 🤠👍

[@TerryAllen-c4p]

You've probably heard it before, but it amazes me watching you operate the loader. Never seen anyone that good. You have that thing mastered. Great job.

[@benjiher8918]

Great job on cutting the tanker. I love all the old stuff, some new stuff as well Thanks for sharing

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Thanks for the great video Silas , till next time , Stuart in Ontario ..

[@petermccall9354]

Hi Silas, the back of the tanker truck would make a good two seater lounge!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffclark2725]

Its a Sunday afternoon adventure, thumbs 👍 up double time thanks for bringing us along

[@johnnymack8442]

You have a cool place!! Some people want to go to Disneyland but i would want to go to your place.

[@kyliepierson8718]

Hey Silas another good vlog tanker 4 Silas 0 that was pretty funny that tanker was a 4 round knockout, well till next time be safe take care

[@dombutler7685]

Thanks Silas, keep living the dream!

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

Fun video to watch. Smorgasbord deluxe.

[@wyore4344]

Silas, please keep up and the Hard Work and Great Video Content. very best to you and yours...and your parents as well. thank you very much...walt+mrs.

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

I’m super excited for you Silas, owning a classic car yard!! I’ve been a fan of old vehicles and antiques and watching your uploads just brings me to tears! You are my hero Silas, for saving more history every day!

[@donsab-xz4so]

He does not want to own a classic car yard.. He is a scrap metal processor. He holds old cars for a while to try to resell them but he is generally not running a parts operation.

[@stevemarshall5197]

This is great so much variety 👍

[@rhythmblackheart917]

The back of the tanker reminded me of a huge Ferris wheel seat or carnival ride piece 😊❤

[@PRR5406]

Seeing the yard being cleaned up is really good. I'm waiting for you to squish the old buses, no not your camp. You've made mention of the dilapidated house trailers as well. I would think the steel underframes would be worth the effort. But I know you know your time and business better than we visitors. Yard and videos keep getting better, Silas!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

The frame from a trailer house is worth about $300 for scrap. It costs about $1,000 in landfill fees plus many days worth of work to tear one apart. That’s kind of why it hasn’t happened yet 😆

[@t1259sw]

Very cool tanker truck.

[@1944chevytruck]

AWESOME!

[@mandymoo7406]

great sunday night viewing,thank you

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Tanker Truck "Seat" is sooooo very Cool - Great Piece ! Crushing Cars and Trucks - making more Headwaves ! Another Quality Video - Great Variation that You are giving us - always a Pleasure ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

[@brobrown6553]

Terry is the man

[@peterbockholm3176]

One could make a really cool barbecue from that rear of the tank truck. Very unlike those made of "brick" that you buy from Home Depot or Walmart. They are a bakers dozen, but this would be something unique and the envy of anyone with a car themed man cave. I would pay good money for it but I live in small apartment in Sweden so......

[@johnhaines2299]

Glad your saving the old cars! Can not believe how there is no rust on most of the vehicles wow. Where are most of your car buying customers from?

[@markc5593]

You're living my dream sir, thanks for the show.

[@johnhaines2299]

Great idea a field of dreams, just old cars!! Save the AMC Eagle. Can't understand how there is no rust on your vehicles, if you ever visited the N.E. rust belt you would have a greater appreciation for rust free old vehicles

[@markreece8904]

This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@christianhunt9891]

Silas BIG FAN FROM KANSAS CITY!! LOVE THE CONTENT! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Silas you definitely got a lot done

[@morgansword]

I am surprised that someone tossed new exhaust pipe like that because its the same stuff you buy as a kit to make your own exhaust stuff. Last car out had the nose clipped and trunk was a older two door hardtop, I have a feeling it might still get a new set of quarters on its rear end and then its just assemble it again. See here in Alaska, that is still premium metal. Also the Dakota, Ranger, and S10 frames are so popular as frames for hot rods to go on. I think your doing quite commendable on this clean up. I have seen some incredible rigs in that collection. I so wish we were closer or easier to go through Canada for us Alaskans.... a lot of us are not allowed to go through the border just because of mistakes made as a kid. Silas, its a beautiful yard now but I am sure that snow is going to take out a lot of trees yet... might want to see about topping some of them so it doesn't crush a rig worth a ton. And yes I get it, wish you would of if it fell on a rig and if it doesn't then saved some cash.... hard to draw that line

[@garythomas4914]

the back of the fuel truck looks like a chariot!

[@Zachn8r]

I think it’s funny that after you cutdown the Cadillac, it became a “normal“ sized car. Keep on crushing!

[@williamdeegan7840]

Those Eagle Station Wagons are gaining in value. Did you advertise it for sale ?

[@robertcable6348]

Fuel tank would make a cool BBQ setup.

[@normabrawner4881]

Another great adventure love watching keep the videos coming.

[@howardroy1097]

I am new to your channel but I really enjoy watching your videos

[@ronaldhope8939]

Great video content. I truly like this type of video which has a little of everything. Super job.

[@pamelaarescurrinaga8201]

No wonder you're so good at junkyard logistics you've been figuring them out since you were a little kid.

[@reneprovencher8395]

Beautiful job!!! Old tanker was built rugged! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@steveriley1995]

Great job buddy.

[@keithjackson1180]

A friend of mine used to have a 58 Cadillac. That thing was huge. You could sit on the back seat and stick your legs out and not hit the front seat. If you were ever in a head on crash, you would be airborne headed for the front of the car since rear seat belts were not included.

[@gregdannels1699]

Another great video Silas! 👍 I would be having fun if I did what you do. I also would absolutely enjoy being around all those old cars & trucks! I would want to keep them I think, but you gotta make a living. LOL

[@claytondewey3367]

Love the drone shots. Really looks different after a lot of hard work. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@rothgarn19]

If I lived closer to you I'd love to help out there. You are doing an awesome job and love the videos.

[@NM-eb5ej]

Silas, great job on the video well done, I bet you never dreamed of is a man running a scrap yard making and editing your own videos!

[@MichaelMccann-e5f]

next time you have to cut up flamable tanks put dry ice in it. fill until the fog comes out the highest point. ive cut LP tanks using this method

[@CARLOS62B]

It is always great to see you guys saving as much as you can .... that tanker rear looks like an interesting project for someone.

[@andrewbratos6907]

Hello Silas, great job, have you ever thought about a Shredder? I dont know much about them as in buying & running them

[@daewooparts]

18:25 definitely don't crush those nice old roadway name signs in it ,those are nice

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

I agree, people are paying top $ for them!

[@paulwignell9733]

I love this channel, but that drone footage has played havoc with my o.c.d... I just want to get in there and rearrange everything into nice lines and all in order...

[@urbanurchin5930]

Yes, this has been my main complaint about this yard for quite some time. However, it looks like he is starting to organize a little better....at least, a little more orderly.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

That’s what makes it fun to me. I don’t sell parts to the public and usually I’m the only one in the yard. The day I organize it is the day I crush everything and sell the property 😆

[@timothylong68]

Great content thanks

[@oldcarjunky]

very nice your gas tank would make a nice bench set up against the side of bus cabin with a swing away pic neck table

[@kevinbarnes8596]

The tanker has some serious baffles in it and it won't crush

[@johnbarnett7365]

Another great video Silas and well edited. Til next time

[@indianaslim4971]

Ole Silas proving that dreams do come true if you put the work into it and take the leap of faith when an opportunity presents itself...well done sir!

[@77Sunsetstrip]

Take that tanker end piece and make a swing out of it . Upholster the inside and paint the exterior up nice! Don't sell it Silas!!!

[@Burningbush8]

Silas I’m new to your channel and love it! Did you crush that tanker yet? I work for a contractor on an Air Force base. We work in fuel for everything on the base including the jets. POL, petroleum, oils, and lubricants. I love the doors on the side of that tanker. If you didn’t crush it I’d be interested in the doors.

[@daewooparts]

21:49 💥 boom ,something flew towards you

[@davidross5169]

That gas truck back. Is nice.

[@jaypavlik9616]

Very nice!

[@toddgibbs7599]

I look forward to your videos every week. You always get some interesting stuff

[@ronaldhuff635]

The silver caddi is a 63, rear bumper is surved from the side profile on a 64, flat on a 63

[@michaelhartloff3833]

Wassup

[@BOZOSMITH-xw3ms]

Hope that Willys wagon finds a home

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

[@kingtut5923]

I think you could make a nice couch out of it

[@harveyband9843]

You have a great narrative voice. Greeley County was named after Horace Greeley, of "Go west, young man, go west" fame. Just curious why nobody tries to remove the aluminum siding from mobile homes and campers.

[@robertdensmore1696]

You are living my dream I always wanted a junk yard but never found the right yard too buy

[@degauss22ro1]

so many cool cars...or maybe i have no idea about cars :)

[@troyweatherford9874]

Love the videos, crushing cutting, or just adventuring lol,keep up the good work

[@JohnnyAFG81]

Hey Silas, love the videos! My boss used to have a 4x4ft metal box with forklift channels he used to use to compress stuff in dumpsters. Seeing you crunch up those campers on the bin made me think of that. It gave him 1/3 more space to dump stuff in it, just a thought you might like.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

That’s all I had to ship. I thought about using the excavator to pack it, but didn’t have a real reason to.

[@danielsweeney6742]

Silas I wish you were closer. I need a box for a 94-99 Dodge Ram Short box.

[@garryhall2964]

Looks like a charriot!

[@kylemathena1491]

Good for you Salas 😊

[@DRS-TOOLS]

That was cool

[@jorgecaballero8469]

Yo despedazo autos con un Acha, excelente video, me gustaría tener un desguace de autos y dejarlos hay unos 40 años, solo rescatar los clásicos

[@brentonmcclean3647]

It's always such an enjoyable experience watching Silas's uploads. Have a great upcoming week bud.

[@rogergreen3890]

should have cut the side boxes off of the fuel tank . would have good shop cabinets

[@keen1957]

Your intro…”treasures amongst the trees”

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Salis thar was a great adventure thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss a video and can't wait for next video

[@williambeahm2574]

Good afternoon/evening here in Pennsylvania. I'm thinking about doing a road trip out to see Independence, Kansas. I enjoy watching videos. I also sent an email the other day. I don't know if I did it right.

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

I have met Many fans of Silas and adventure made from scratch. They all say the same thing. He is trying to save the old cars and the other people in the business do not. As far as that AMC eagle that's a pretty good selling tactic to be saying you might have scrapped it if you had some more time before prices drop. I'll go ahead and tell a couple of AMC guys that you have the AMC eagle. Wife really enjoyed your little kid matchbox Hot Wheels story. Brought back memories. This is a great addition of silas's chop shop, or we crush them. but first we save them!

[@garyruark9506]

That black Caddy was a 54, 55 or 56 Fleetwood 60 Special. The ribs on side are 60 Special only. Best Cadillac they made besides Eldorado.

[@evankibbe590]

Getting it done 😊😊😊😊👍

[@04_subarukid]

love the vids guys :]

[@Anders.W.]

The ribs on the 56 Cadillac are sometime missing on the cars .

[@theyangview1898]

Looks like the yard would be a lot more efficient with the removal of those trees. Split them into firewood

[@marioncobaretti2280]

Thnx silas

[@kapekodbob]

Great job, are you storing the Ford flathead V8's under cover ?
