This video is a bit different from the usual but it was such a unique situation I had to share.
As many of you know, I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart, located in the Saint Louis Missouri area. I don't buy a lot of cars because I don't have a large lot. That means I have to be pretty picky with what I buy. Our vehicles are wrecked, totaled, flooded, burned, mechanically totaled, etc and they come from places like Copart, IAA, tow lots, shops and even the local public.
A local tow lot closed a few years ago and recently they had an auction to sell off everything that was there. I bought 5 vehicles including this truck. When picking up the title for this truck, talking with the owner of the former tow lot, he told me that truck was wrecked in 2010 or 2011 and parked on their lower lot ever since.
As with many of our vehicles, we don't really know their condition until we try to get them started, and tear into them. This thing had a ton of aftermarket parts like a long arm lift, ranch hand bumpers,. enormous exhaust stacks and some large wheels and tires. When we powered this up we were in for a shock!
So now this entire truck is inventoried and if you'd like to buy parts from it, you can go to www.importapart.com or email us at [email protected].

As this channel evolves, I want to show other parts of this industry I've been so deeply rooted in for 20+ years.

I hope you enjoyed this video, and as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
