Stone and mineral sites up toward Spring Hill
Records kept by the Mine Safety and Health Administration place County Line Mine, an industrial-mineral operation, 20.6 miles north-east of Key Vista. A dump truck or tractor that has hauled from a site like that may be sitting in a contractor’s yard rather than in a driveway, so tell us the exact address and who holds the keys before we plan the collection.
Georgia Stone Spring Hill Quarry, a crushed-stone pit, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration listings 21.7 miles away in that same north-easterly direction. If your truck carried aggregate out of Spring Hill, send clear photos of the body, the frame and the cab together with the VIN, and say which make and axle setup it is.
Pinellas Park and the run south from Key Vista
Pinellas Park AFRC, a military installation the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records 24.2 miles south of town, lies down the Gulf side toward the Pinellas peninsula. A seller who now lives or works down there can leave a truck parked near Key Vista exactly where it stands.
Give us the spot where the truck stands, a phone number for whoever can let us onto the lot, and the gate hours. With those three things we can arrange the pickup in Key Vista while you handle everything else from Pinellas County or wherever you are now.
Ranch and nursery hauling around Key Vista
Across Pasco County, 1,190 farms were counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, and that federal survey lists cattle, equine and potted flowering plants as the county’s leading farm categories. Stock trailers, horse haulers and box trucks loaded with potted plants all share these roads with the quarry trucks.
If your truck worked a ranch or a nursery, it may be parked out at the barn or behind a greenhouse instead of at a house in Key Vista. Tell us whether a tractor-trailer can reach it on a dry lane, and include a photo of the approach along with the truck itself.
Livestock bodies and refrigerated plant boxes vary a lot from one build to another. Note the body type, its length and the chassis make when you first write to us, so our questions can start from the right place.
Tax collector, Gulf Harbors
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles issues titles through county tax collector service centers and license plate agents, and for Key Vista the nearest listed is the Pasco County motor vehicle service center - New Port Richey. On the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office list it sits in the Tax Collector Building-Gulf Harbors at 4720 U.S. Highway 19, New Port Richey, 34652, about 3.3 miles from town on that Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles listing.
Should the certificate be missing, that Gulf Harbors counter is where a Pasco owner applies for a duplicate. Bring your photo ID and the VIN, and if a lender was ever on the title, bring the lien release as well.
Keep the current registration with the title once you have both in hand. If the truck is registered under a business name, have the company paperwork that shows you can sign for it, so the transfer on the day goes through cleanly.
Quarry, ranch or nursery truck
What to gather for a Key Vista collection
Start with the VIN, the odometer reading and the make and model, then add photos of all four sides, the cab interior and the dash. For a quarry truck from up toward Spring Hill, add a shot of the dump body and the hoist; for a ranch or nursery truck, the trailer hitch and the body.
Service records, inspection reports and receipts for parts help us understand the truck’s history, but none of them is required. If you have nothing on paper, tell us in plain words what the truck hauled around Pasco County and where it has spent most of its working life.
