What is wrong with you guys?

This is what we used to haul out of the Buick, Chevrolet, Turnsted, AC and Fisher Body Plants in Flint! Of course Buick City and all of those plants along Dort Hwy and Davison Rd are gone since they where part of the "Old" GM.

There would occasionally be some one from the plant who would follow our truck back to the yard and ask if it was OK if he took something he hid in the load. We only paid penny's on the pound. The person would pull out a set of heads, intake , carb. We never knew what we'd find under the scrap. A car, a run of hoods or doors.

We called it scarp! Processed it and shipped it out. LOL
