To part or try and sell whole? (Not a whats it worth thread) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys. I bought this 70 chevy c20 a couple of weeks ago to try and score some parts off of it, mainly the cab. Its a manual trans cab and I wanna put a manual back in my 68 when it comes time. The parts on this truck are ok, but will need work. I almost wonder if its good enough for like a work truck but not good enough to get parts off. The thing is the motor and trans were pulled, and it has no title. The floor has had previous work on it as you can see in the pictures, the doors are rusted, the backs of the fenders are rusted, front cups not horrible, grill had primer sprayed on it with what looks like bondo in one spot, bed has some bondo in the arches, bed has a 1 ft x 1 ft spot in floor that needs replacing, tiny bubble above the windshield. But this was a running driving truck a couple of months ago. Any suggestions? Here are some pictures.....

considering the fact that you don't have a title and the hassle that could cause, and the fact that it has terminal cancer I would part it .

How about the windshield/rear slider/hood/hood hinges/pedal assembly/etc? The bed has rust but is in my opinion fixable.

The title issue might be the show stopper depending on your state and their regulations. If you have the time and patience, (and money$$) the truck could be a worthy project. It is all about you and what you want.

Not without a motor, transmission, and title. Those three things add up to more than it's worth.
