Is this worth picking up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The only reason I would haul it home is to part it out. Does it have enough parts to make it worth it? What do you see??

If she's free take her home!

71swb4x4 · 12-21-2009, 11:01 PM

The big block is worth some cash. How much are they asking? What is there? Is the metal solid? Is that your van behind it?

hotrod 80 · 12-21-2009, 11:03 PM

If you part it im in for the door panels and armrests .

**too much stuff** · 12-21-2009, 11:11 PM

Do you really have to ask??????

jim zag · 12-21-2009, 11:16 PM

That trruck is in nicer shape than most of the ones I looked at last summer that for sale!

Kurt L · 12-21-2009, 11:26 PM

i read one time here on the board someone said if it casts a shadow then it's worth fixing.

Ilike 72"s · 12-21-2009, 11:35 PM

I lifted the hood and it now has a small block. Its at a scrap yard and I think I can trade a scrap car for it--- if it's worth the effort.

Yes I do.
It doesn't have what I want, but I'll save it if it has what somebody wants.

nickp51chevy · 12-22-2009, 12:17 AM

If you don't want it I'm sure one of us will go get it. So get it.

Looks like lots of good parts there. Even the sheet metal doesn't look bad. I would buy the emblems and choke delete if that helps your decision...

WELL OK! I'll make the deal tomorrow. Then you'll see it in the parts section if it goes through.

sleepertruck72 · 12-22-2009, 04:10 AM

I have bought one that looked way worse than that just for the rear axle and front disc brakes, and I managed to part it out. You should have no problem. If shipping doesnt kill it put me in line for the chrome trim from the grille, and the headlight buckets

Ilike 72"s · 12-26-2009, 05:44 PM

When Parting a pickup here, whats the best way to keep from having a total mess with questions and replies and just lookers? List one part at a time?? I see alot of questions and requests for more pictures, then close ups only to follow with " I'll pass". This is fine, but-- How is the best way to keep order?

VA72C10 · 12-26-2009, 06:58 PM

Since you need to post prices for everything it's usually best to picture and price separately or as "parts lots" keep all communication in the thread (none in pm's) and if you're posting on craigslist/ebay also let people know up front.

Ilike 72"s · 12-26-2009, 08:14 PM

Good advice. Thanks

8door · 12-26-2009, 08:19 PM

If you do I'm in line for the shifter pointer.
Like said before keep all prices and inquiries on the board use PM for shipping address and payment details.
You could post several items and photos on a single post , then list prices in a lot with a number or letter to identify the lot, so when we ask for a part , then we can refer to that lot number. Example

I'm in for shift pointer lot 1)
Makes it easier for you to track also

**special-K** · 12-27-2009, 12:13 AM

You don`t have to list it all at once.Pull the stuff off,then list it in seperate threads you can handle.Once it`s down to the carcass you can show what`s left,list some prices,and take requests.

screamin_c10 · 12-27-2009, 01:23 AM

Put me in line for the trim around the grille, and the headlight bezels if you part it....

**FleetsidePaul** · 12-27-2009, 01:33 AM

anything that doesn't go to the crusher is a good thing.

echo72 · 12-27-2009, 01:45 AM

The cab and doors look like they are in pretty good shape to me.

Good advice... Also remember there is a what it is worth section that may help you on items you are unsure of. Good Luck. Eric
