well i personally think you'll getALOT more for the pieces / by selling locally thru local pennysaver also free ads on craigs list in areas that are within a 100mile radius and or a local swapmeet// i'm afraid tho alot of stuff will have no value PERIOD especially the cab, my personal feeling is ebay is good for things that are smaller than a breadbox all the large things are just asking for a nightmare for the hassels of shipping// FORGET SPENDING ANYMORE MONEY ON IT PERIOD !! ,you just wont get it back // if you have time and want to make money off your time the best way is to get a job at mcdonalds or wallyworld cause you aint going to make anything for your time on an old rusty truck

What the hell does that mean? Secondly, nobody around wants to pay for anything. I've sold many things on ebay before, cars, trucks and even antique tractors.

You get more money for parts than whole, but its a lot more effort to sell it piecemeal. Its easier to sell it as a lot and take the beating financially.
If you can sort of get it whole its going to get more money than apart. If it looks like junk, it will sell as such.
If it were me, I'd sell the lot and take the lesson. I have done this a few times, but seem to be not learning the lesson.
