Decision Time

[Throwback]

Well i am in a rut right now. My parents are yelling at me cause my 63 is an 'eye-sore.' I 've had it home since June 25th and nothing has been done to it. Don't have time or money. Workin 14 hour days and money is going to paying off college loans. I got an estimate from a scrap yard and they told me i could get 500 from them for it. I thought about parting it out but there really isn;t much to part out on it. I had a guy offer me 350 for the truck but he backed out after a week or so of bidding on the price. so what should i do. Part the truck out or sell it all together or take it to the ole scrap yard?

I'd love to see as many of these trucks parted out and helping keep the ones still around running, but at the same time life gets in the way and sometimes you gotta do the tough thing and sell it to the scrap yard as is. Especially if you don't got the time to do anything with it to begin with, parting it wouldn't be any different I'd think. Sadly I'd say in your predicimate if you can't find someone to buy the whole thing, scrapping it is all you really can do.

Put an ad on craigslist and sell it whole. You should be able to get at least the $350 the other guy was offering if it's fairly complete. Then at least it has a chance to survive.
