How to sell?

Hey guys. Long time lurker and decided to join. Owner of '90 and '89 K1500's and a '58 Apache "hybrid." This doesn't seem to be a searchable question so I figured I would ask you guys. I bought my '58 8 or 9 years ago tore it down, started working on it, then the typical life things strolled along and I havent worked on it in forever and am looking into selling it. I am wondering if I should sell it all together or possibly part it out? I am looking to get best value whether through cash or trade and am not desperate to sell it, I just wouldnt mind the garage space or maybe a new toy that I could use right now.

This is what I've got, without making this sound like a classified: It's a 58 truck but sitting on a 79 or 80 Blazer 4x4 frame. The body is in pretty descent shape except for the front fenders, I think they would need a minor miracle. As far as I can tell, the stepside bed is good except for the wood. One doors window is good, other is bad. Rear glass is good. Front glass isn't too bad, it has a maybe 6 inch crack in lower left corner that runs off each edge so it shouldnt spread. When purchased, it came with a bunch, if not all, weather stripping, brand new chrome front bumper, grill, and headlight rings.

Now for the blazer half: 350 with a turbo 400. It has very clean eagle alloy wheels with 35" mudders (one being 100%, one 90% and two probably 75 or 80%.

The truck did run and everything mechanical worked as it should before tearing it down. I tore it down it, cleaned the frame up the best I could for an amateur and repainted it black and havent done jack since so it has sit in the garage collecting dust for a few years now. I understand every situation is different, but giving this info would I get the most value out of the truck by parting it or selling/trading it all together. I'm not going to take a huge hit on it because I'll just let it sit and maybe get to it later, I am just wanting to explore some options.
