Glad I asked you guys.

I ended up going with my original plan which was to sell it to my friend I work with. Turns out that the title won't be a salvage title so he will be getting a great deal and who knows, I might even get to babysit it some weekend.
This is his second 68-72 chevy/gmc.

I was already committed to my replacement daily driver and ended up with enough money to recover the cost to get the replacement. It's a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, my second one. So I'm pretty happy with that. Of course it's no 72 GMC long bed. Maybe I'll get another GMC or Chevy down the road some day. I sure learned a lot and had fun with this one and really am glad that it won't be going to the salvage yard.
Thanks again.

It feels like your friend is getting a better deal out if this whole thing, than you are...

No doubt he's getting a great deal. But to be honest, I'm can sleep well at night knowing that it won't be picked apart. I'm good with that.

while I'm more on mrb's side on this one I can understand that's why I put mine in storage for a decade no garage and pieces kept disappearing off my truck at night. but on the flip side they weren't smart enough to get my doors unlocked and steal a very expensive sound system but my wife's jetta they actually ripped the handle right out of the door and smashed the counsel to pieces to steal a POS jc whitney deck.
