1) part that sucker out and walk away with two or three times the money.
2) Spend one weekend and put all those extra parts on the truck. A multi-colored truck with very solid parts has WAY more value to me than a rust bucket with some parts laying in the bed that I have to put on.

The good thing about option 2 is that if you don't sell it, you are that much further ahead on your project.
I know it sucks but I gotta agree, 1000 TOPS! It would be cool though but just not a lot of value in a truck in pieces.
