That is a super neat find! I have picked up a load at the plastic place you mentioned a couple of different times. Wish I had known something like this was even anywhere near me. Thanks for sharing.

That's a long way (kinda) from Ohio to pick up some plastics!
You've got some nice finds in your gallery as well!

Thats an odd place for a firetruck lol I bet those firefighters had some rough party at the station one night, went out for a cruise in the truck, and this is prolly where it ended up, and they forgot where they left it! lol XP

Well, that truck is a lot older than the nearby fire house.

It could be that the old firehouse got torn down and a newer one got built in its place.
