Your Dead Truck Still Has Real Cash Value
Blown head gasket, seized motor, cranks-but-won't-start — it doesn't matter. Arkansas Junk Truck Buyers, owned and operated by Ricky Ray, pays cash on the spot and hauls your non-running truck away for free. This is the plain-English guide to getting paid for it.
A real yard buyer — not a lowball middleman
Ricky Ray started Arkansas Junk Truck Buyers in 2026 to give sellers around Higden a straight shot: call, send a couple photos, get an honest on-site cash offer, and watch your dead truck roll onto the rollback the same day. No fees, no upsell, no waiting on a check to clear.

If it won't start, we still want it
Most buyers only touch clean, running trucks. We built this yard around the ones nobody else will take.
Non-Running Trucks
Won't crank, no start, dead electrical, transmission gone — we buy it as-is.

No games, no fees, no lowballs
Upfront, honest pricing
We quote off your photos and condition, then confirm the same number in person. What we say on the phone is what lands in your hand — see how much your junk truck is worth in our guide.
Fast, same-day pickup
Call before mid-afternoon Mon–Sat and most non-running trucks in our 50-mile radius get hauled the same day — no ghosting, no "we'll call you back."
The owner does the deal
Ricky Ray personally evaluates and pays. You're not haggling with a call center — you're dealing with the man who owns the rollback and the cash.
Free hauling, both ways
Rollback for pickups, lowboy for heavy stuff. Removal is included — you never pay a towing or "junk" fee out of pocket.
From dead in the yard to gone for cash
A blown-engine truck isn't a repair bill anymore — it's cash and an empty parking spot.
Dead truck to cash in four steps
Selling a non-running or blown-engine truck should take a phone call, not a month of tire-kickers.
Call or text photos
Ring (501) 259-7997 or start a cash offer. Tell us the year, make, model and what's wrong — blown engine, no-start, wreck, whatever.
Get an on-site offer
We give you a real number over the phone, then confirm it face-to-face when we arrive. No bait-and-switch at the driveway.
We haul it free
Our rollback comes to you inside the 50-mile radius of Higden. No title? We handle the bonded-title paperwork.
Cash in your hand
You get paid in real cash on the spot as the truck loads — not a check, not a promise, not a wait.
Why a blown engine still pays
Sellers assume a dead motor means the truck is worthless. It isn't. The body, bed, axles, transmission, wheels and drivetrain parts all carry value — plus the scrap steel underneath it all. That's why we can hand you cash when a private buyer just walks away.
- Parts valueGood bed, cab, axles and trans are worth real money
- Scrap valueHeavy steel trucks weigh in strong at current scrap prices
- No repair neededYou never sink another dollar into fixing it to sell
Non-running & blown-engine truck FAQ
Will you really buy a truck that won't start?
Yes. Non-running is our specialty — seized engines, blown head gaskets, cracked blocks, dead electrical, bad transmissions. You don't need to get it running, jump it, or roll it out. We bring the rollback and load it as-is.
How much is my blown-engine truck worth?
It depends on the make, model, year, body condition and what parts are salvageable, plus current scrap steel prices. Send us photos and we'll give you an honest number. Our truck value page walks through exactly what drives the offer.
Can I sell without a title?
Often yes. Ricky Ray handles the Arkansas bonded-title process — a bill of sale plus the bonded-title route — for many no-title vehicles. Bring your ID and any paperwork you have and we'll sort out ownership legally. See our no-title help.
Do I pay for towing or hauling?
No. Free removal is included on every purchase inside our 50-mile radius of Higden — Cleburne County and north-central Arkansas. There are no towing fees, no junk fees, and nothing comes out of your cash.
How fast can you pick it up?
Call Mon–Sat 7AM–6PM (Sunday by appointment). Most non-running trucks in our area get picked up the same day. Reach us at (501) 259-7997 or send photos to start.
