Buying a parts truck - Is it worth it?

[gkesseru]

Here's an example: I bought an 81 just for 500 just for the power disk and front suspension. I sold the cab and front clip for 150 (bargain), the bed for 400 (I was lucky), wheels for 100, and traded the rest for help in taking it apart and getting rid of it within 2 weeks. If my wife would have been patient, I could have made another 300-400, but it was worth it for the peace.
