Unhappy Thinking of parting or selling my truck...need opinions...

Well folks, my grandpa recently gave me his 68 F100 SWB. I can't have three vehicles around here, in a few weeks I won't have a job, and I have no money. The F100 is still in Tennessee, and grandpa has had many offers on the truck. But I can't sell it, so I might go ahead and get rid of my Stepside.

A little about my truck:

68 SWB C10 Stepside.
I haven't found any rust at all on the bed anywhere.

3.73 open rear, coil springs

No rust through on the cab, other than one little spot under the windshield by the A-Pillar (easy fix)

Floors are great, with 2 very small holes on the passenger side, about 1/2" wide, by 4" long.

Kick panel bottoms are rusty, again, easy fix.

Doors have no rust through, but have patches welded in by the previous owner that need working to be smooth.

Front fenders are good, one tiny hole in the top of the drivers fender, and both right and left "cups" need replaced, as they're full of bondo. Hood is perfect, has the chrome front trim on it.

Grille is also in great shape, a few tiny rock dings here and there. (it's the bright trim) Right fender eyebrow needs replaced.

Chrome front bumper is in great shape, painted rear bumper needs stripped and painted.

Engine is virtually new, 406 SBC, 4 bolt main, completely rebuilt a few hundred miles ago, runs perfect.

Trans needs rebuilt, TH350

Drum brakes all the way around, need replaced.

Now, my list of new and used parts:

4" rear drop springs
2 1/2" front drop spindles
6 lug front disc brake conversion kit
Cab weatherstripping
TCI Master trans rebuild kit
Summit 2200 RPM stall converter
Summit cam (can't remember the specs, I think it's .488/.488 lift)
Headers (used, but in great shape)
Power steering box (used)
Power brake booster (used)

I'm probably forgetting things....but at any rate, should I get rid of it, and also, what would I expect to get if I sold it outright, and what could I get parting it?

Thanks guys and gals....
