Mr. Goodpliers heads to Oklahoma to take a look at a huge selection of trucks, tractors and parts at auction! Check out 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and more! See our bids and loads!
I want your old panel! That’s a jewel and I weld every day! I could put pieces in where those louvers are and you never know it from the outside. Party on!👍
I’m so glad for your knowledge of all the models of cars and trucks, I love to see them all and you saving what you can but such a waste the others that get crushed
Tough to see so much lost to the crusher but much was likely more rusty than savable. Excellent score on the wagon and nice intro to the new “Mr. Goodpliers Junkyard Cooking” aspect. Excellent salad
If I were a scrap guy I wouldn't be so quick to crush even the rusty old ones. Anyway I'm not so it doesn't matter. Thanks for 'bringing us along' - always a fun watch.
Just an FYI, those early German Rabbit parts are very difficult to find and very pricey. The first yellow one was a '75-'76 which are super uncommon due to being carbureted. '77 and up we're fuel injected and lived longer. We can't save them all!
Looks like a great auction. I could have bought some of that 1965ish Chevy stainless custom trim down the side of those trucks to complete when I bought from you for my kids truck. As far as the wagon it is what you like. Pound-for-dollar you made a much better buy this time. Although it has a little different lines than what the earlier model wagons did. It's amazing from early '70s to late seventies the drastic changes. Only to be morphed by the changes to come. The dreaded minivan! Which I think I've owned eight in my life. Thanks for bringing us along. Now we should have a moment of silence for those little bits of History that are now history themselves on the way to becoming toasters.
@@juanpabloarena2724 I do have a question. I have an old Renault that is probably from the fifties. The basic shape of it is similar to a Volkswagen bug but it's a four-door. It has the engine in back. I don't remember if air cooled or not. Any ideas of what model of Renault it is?
@@juanpabloarena2724 okay I'll research it. With temperatures dropping to 10 below 0 Fahrenheit it'll make a good time for me to research that old car. It has a flat face that looks like a miniature 1946 Ford with a little bit of imagination. It's overall shape is that of a VW bug and if somebody saw the silhouette at night they would probably think that's what it was
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983 I agree. That car mobilized a large part of France and especially the Spanish people who at that time, 'post Gerra', had a very small automotive stock.
I was born in 1948 and grew up with all these trucks and had some of them as toys. These vehicles that are so solidly built will never be built again. Like the historic Building Act, these vehicles should not be allowed to be crushed if they are restorative. There are millions of vehicles made in the last forty years, plastic pieces of junk that all look through same. They litter peopled property because they have no restoration value. Crush these things that are eyesore, not the classic iron .
It's a shame to see old iron that served the owners to be ground down to chips. Up here in Canada , straight north of you they start rusting their first winter
Always had a fascination with cars truck and lorries to the point of saving a mk2 jaguar 1965 4years restoring it and the time night school taking qualifications restored more than 30 British classics always got the satisfaction of getting maximum enjoyment from it thinking of buying land over there a d fulfilling my dream of American classics just run of the mill stuff nobody bothers with but stuff I homecare with character personal faces instead of generic looks like all the other's great channel
I have been subscribed to your channel for a few years already . But it appears that you keeping your eyes open for a few parts for me went unnoticed . So I'm going to go on a road trip which will include Oklahoma . I really didn't think I was asking too much of you to keep your eyes open for some wheels for my old truck .
I do remember you asking. I don't have any, so I passed the request on to Joe. I'm not aware that he ever ran across any either. There were several rows of wheels at this place, but nearly all of them were split ring style. This guy had sold parts for decades, so the place was pretty picked over
He is still there. I hope I have that much ambition, energy, and "go" left in me when I hit 80 years old. This was the second sale - and there's probably enough there for a third. Honestly this was not the best time of year to hold a sale - people are already finished with the season and ready to do holiday stuff. Tom did buy back qhite a few parts and things from the crusher guys, and fortunately they were patient enough to work with him that way. I wouldn't be surprised to see a third auction some time down the line. And I heard a rumor that he still has more trucks sitting places to bring home!
Always amazes me how ma y old trucks are On these farm stead the 46 Chevy I like plus c10 and the f1/2/3/4 force hope my plans come of next year great content brillian brilliantly filmed wish I could be saving a few my self maybe one day
It’s great that your hobby has become a business. I was an industrial mechanic for 45 years which was getting paid for what was similar to what I did on my own time for free. Full time car hobbyist and rat rod builder now
I didn't look it over too close, but everything down there was rusty. The two doors are desirable, but I don't know how easy a person could find a buyer for a 4 door
Hi, do you have a windshield for a 1967 Chevy van? It doesn’t have to be perfect, can be chipped, minor cracked or cloudy at the edges. My windshield go kicked out by vandals and the van sits outside. Gary in Michigan
@@mr.goodpliers6988 your lucky to be able to do what you do seems a great lifestyle, when I see them getting crushed it’s a travesty, some of them look better than the ones that go for thousands here in uk, I have done a fair bit of road trips in USA and love it also been to Hershey and just this year done back to the 50s in Minneapolis, I love it out there thanks and keep the videos coming great watching.
He's getting close to a thousand of them saved at his place. Every one of these had the chance to be bid above scrap at the auction. It's a business, and the reality of used items and commodities. I do think this sale would have done quite a bit better had they waited to hold it in the spring. People bidding just have a way different mindset in spring than fall
The guys were slow bidding - auctioneer waited long enough but it was time to drop the hammer and they moved on. Happens every now and then. There's a bit of finesse and paying attention involved on both ends, but it isn't always orchestrated exactly...
