Nice stash! You could keep Bubbles (Trailer Park Boys) employed for a couple of years.

Fill them all up and you'd have around 42 billion dollars worth of groceries.

The weak.

Oops looks like someone forgot where this little tab goes. "I'll just put it here for now"

Funny things you find taking a car apart.

Quite a few years ago, a neighbour of mine called to ask if I knew much about Chrysler rear ends. He called the right guy. He was a Chevvy guy, and had a 1966 Nova SS that somebody had put an A-body Mopar 8 3/4" rear end in. He had it up on jack stands and noticed the rear wheel bearings were really sloppy. We pulled the rear brake drums off, and I noticed this clip was missing from the bearing adjuster. Of course, the axle bearing clearance was all out of whack. I went home and got my gauge and magnetic stand, and a spare clip. I went back, and set up the axle clearance, and installed the clip to retain the setting. My Chevvy friend was amazed! He had never seen this before. Tapered bearings vs GM ball bearings.
I knew quite a bit about tapered bearings, having worked Q.C. at Canadian Timken in St. Thomas, Ontario for 11 years. Employees could get free bearing sets for their personal cars. I used to know the Timken #'s for all the bearings used in my Mopars. The factory closed years ago.

Them ain't cheap.

Even the casters ain't cheap.

Wonder if they're all locked from the anti-theft wire.

Around here shopping carts are hard to get rid of.
Local scrap yards require a letter of release form the store that owns the carts.
Years ago, a stash like this was passed around by several scrappers who thought they could sell them. The grocery store was closed long ago. All of those shopping
carts were like kryptonite. Nobody wanted them.

When we would end up with a cart in the trailer park, we would cut it up and put in the trunk of a scrap car to get rid of it.

Funny you should say that Dave. Back when we were racing on a tight budget, my buddy was building a 69 or 70 Nova for the drag strip. We ended up putting an A body 8 3/4 in it because it was about the right width and we could easily change the gears.
