  Ever see the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" Similar thing happened there, an African Village found a Coke bottle.

  I don't know what happened to the trucks after these dump beds were removed.

  Kind of like a bone yard for old mining equipment

  Can't you see cavemen in 500 years into the nuclear post-apocalypse digging these up and believing they're the shells of giant beetles?

  Giant beetles, or giant turtle shells.

  The bed with the guy waving in it looks like it's bent from being seriously overloaded, but the rest don't. Funny.

  I know, but some of these trucks came from the Bisbee mine when it closed. they were in sad shape

  That curved bed is a Duratray - the rest are Cat and Komatsu factory beds. All have since been scrapped.

  Also, most of the trucks these came off of are either still here, or shipped to Chino (NM). These are all wearouts.

  Do you work at the mine?
Posted by az_catskinner 8/11/2006 3:33 AM | remove
  Sure do - making the big bucks (kindof!)

  Yeah' once the beds wear out the remove them, the truck is still good, it would just need a new bed.
