im gonna finish stripping this truck in the next few days then i am gonna hual it to the scrap yard i was told i could get like 150 bucks for the body and frame and that will be my new exhaust system....
Check with your local salvage yard before you haul anything in. They are paying $120-175 a ton here in Kansas right now. Some of the places calculate the weight off of the title which is pretty much a rip off. The places you want are the ones where they weigh the trailer/truck going in and the trailer coming out and pay you for actual weight. You can also throw scrap metal in with it. I'm going to be hauling in some stuff for my uncle soon and have collected washers, driers, water heaters, etc. to throw in the back of a van we are junking.

I just got a parts truck for the cost of gas to pick it up. A friend of mine's dad had it. Ran and drove fine except for a tranny leak when it was parked a couple of years ago.

nemesis ,yes i do have the trim for all four wheel wells i will take them off in the morning and post a picture of them for you to see whether or not you want them.i just looked at them with a flashlight and they are going to need some straightening out but they are intact.if you do want them ill take 20 dollars for the whole set with the screws plus what it cost to ship them to ya.

Yea, I hate to use that '85 as a parts truck. Rust free, highly optioned, one dent in the passenger rocker panel etc. But I need a 4wd. So the plan is to put the cab, engine, and front clip on my 4wd frame. I'd love to swap the bed too but when the PO put the flatbed on my truck they cut off the rear of the frame rail to make it fit!
