what parts would you rob off of donor vehicle for free?

i bought a 72 he has a 70 i hope to go back and get but he said while i was there i could rob what i wanted . Is the front clip worth the trouble and are there any other things you would definitely look for and get if it was still on it to rob. looks to be like a complete body minus the top. and chassis. what would you get? but remember it will be while i am picking it up i can't stay all day. just some quick grabs. not sure if the front clip is a quick grab or even worth getting but i will see when i get there for sure. if it is how long will it take to get it off?

Any rust free body parts that you can take off, tow hooks. door plastic caps, maybe the door latch support on the doors, and the little door guides in the door jambs. If it is an AC truck, maybe some of the AC parts and brackets (Like cowl vent door) and stuff like that.

Anything and everything! Because when you tear into
your 72 I bet it will need more work than you planned.

If it under 60 mile away i'd make 2 trips with the trailer. But maybe that's why my yard looks the way it does and the sheds full. Good thing my neighbors are cool. Na, you can never have to many. LOL

Ya, that's to far. If you know it's solid enough to bring home maybe borrow a longer trailer. At least 25'-30' though. I have a 20' trailer and it isn't enough for 2 blazers.

It would be stripped down to nothing. Just get a car dolly and ride off with the truck.

Re: what parts would you rob off of donor vehicle for free?

Find a buddy with a truck and rent another trailer if ya have to. Pay for his fuel and buy him some food.... If the tub is in decent shape that one too is probably worth saving/selling.
