The problem is my time, like everyone's +money. i have plenty of other things to keep me busy. My opinion is if I were to take the time to hang all of the good parts, I am going to do it right by cleaning up and painting everything as I go.

I was thinking it would be worth around $2k considering all of the parts I have for it.

I am not so sure of the parting out thing. Does everyone realize how much hassle it is to answer all of the questions, have half the people who say they are coming not show up, etc, etc.? I parted the 71 Cheyenne K10 LWB and all I have been able to sell is the steering column, rolling chassis and later model TH400 and NP205. I still have all of the rest of the truck. (This stuff is on the parts board and local Craigslist. Everything else is too big and oo much of a hassle to ship
Maybe my point of view ids different from everyone else's, but when I go look at a truck that is thrown together with a bunch of different parts, all I see is more work to be done to tearit apart, as opposed to the pats being loose and ready to work with...

My thinking is I will hang onto it until I get time to pull the front clip, clean and paint the frame in the underhood area, have the TH350 rebuilt, regasket and paint the 350 and start back with it. I would then pull the bed, clean and paint the rear frame area, clean and paint the bottom of the good bed and install it. The problem is, I would obviously have more $$$ in it then, and it would not even have paint. All this work to just get it running would have to be worth something.
