To part out, or not to part out. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What are the pros and cons and how do I know if I SHOULD part it out? I have put my truck up for sale with no fair shake from members. The truck looks ugly, but most of the parts besides interior and body are new, and I have the new sheetmetal for it. HELP ME!!!!!!!!

build it !!!!!

I'd love to, but money is tighter than a Gnat's Butt wrapped around a coke bottle and "The Boss" says, let it go and wait a few years when we're out of debt and start a new one (project)

Pics would help...

On the other hand, my SO always says the same thing,"wait till we're out of debt". Bullcrap, we will NEVER be out of debt. Mortgage & college tuition will see to that. So I have my truck and it's sitting in the front waiting for me to throw some money its way every so often.

Build it and it will come...

I say drive it and fix a little at a time

Thank you VERY much, I have a '94 Caprice on eBay that has reached its reserve so I will probably be getting to put some more parts on. This place is an excellent place to be.

I'd be happy to get to drive that. Needs less work than mine right now. So finish the primer and drive it. Do a little as you can, thats my plan.

Attachment 251818FONT="Comic Sans MS"]My 71 C-10 isn't the best looking truck, but I enjoy driving it. It brings back memories of the good old days when things were a lot simpler.

I pick up a few parts here and there when the budget allows. The main thing is to make sure it is mechanically sound and safe.

Of course I do use mine around the farm and drive it back and forth to work on occasion.
