Trust me, i saved anything that was good enough to save. No title and rusty. At least some parts will live on...
Enjoy the pics...

Cut the filler neck section out the truck guys buy it to move their fuel tank. Looks like the bucket seat channel under the floor is salvageable. Tail light sections are a wtb item pretty regularly.

Good advice. Is the bucket seat channel the same for utility seats?

Yes, sport and utility track width is the same but the utility tracks are longer. The back mounting holes are farther back on the floor.

I saved both doors for parts and grabbed the little pieces screwed to the body.

I got it off there, but it will need some repair. Glad you mentioned grabbing it as i forgot about it.

Not too late, could be yours... A little mechanical work and some buffing and it should clean up...
