Re: Need suggestions
Unfinished projects are nearly impossible to sell unless you take a huge hit on the price, no matter how far along the build is. Parting them out is a lot of work and you never really get everything sold. What happens is someone wants a particular part, which requires disassembly of half the truck, which makes it a pain to store and move around until the rest is sold. It can take a long time to sell it piece by piece and shipping is a pain. Finding boxes, packing peanuts, weighing and looking up all the shipping quotes, waiting for payments, buyers backing out, etc.
My advice, and this is based just on reading your ad and never seeing the truck, is to do the few things you think it needs done on the body, paint it, then sell it. The cost to finish it probably wont be as much as the loss you will take selling as is and it will sell faster. Kick panel repairs are easy. Adjusting the doors is easy. Sanding can be done in a weekend if it's fairly straight. Once thats done the paint spraying is the easy part.
