Sometimes you just have to let them go.

HAy dustin. You need to strip it before you junk it. Here is what I usually strip off of them before I junk them.

1. everything in the doors- and I do mean everything! vent windows, latch mecanism, glass, all the screws.
2. Door hinge bolts. Even if the hinges are junk those bolts can sometimes be hard to find and they strip real easy. I used to have a large bag full of them but by now I just have enough to finish. Trust me keep those bolts.
3. If the glass is good pull it. Same as above if it is good you never know when you need it.
4. If it has a un cut dash take it out. Those clean dashes are gold.
5. Everything bolted inside the cab. Like I said you never know when you might need it.
6.Those 2 large bolts that hold the inner fenders on. Hard to find and alot of them need to be replaced. So if they are good grabem.
7. You may also want to keep the seat, hay they make great shop sofa's.
8. on the core support. Grab the hood latch and latch support. They are an easily damaged item and I would put them back.
9. Scrap the rest.
10. And this is something i do when I cut up a truck. I take the vin plate or builders plate and mount it on my wall in the garage. In memory of the departed truck.

That is what I would salvage and put back. This was in no way shape or form of a wtb post. Just a suggestion on what to save and what to scrap.

I plan on stripping anything I can.I have the other cab which came of the shorty K10 stripped except for the tank and rear window.The C10 cab will be stripped fairly good except I am afraid to really get in it

I plan on saving anything still good.I dont know how stubborn some of those bolts will be though.
rstucken,I belive they are good but I will have to wait till it quits raining so I can check.
