I have a 91 Ram 150 project truck started and acquired a complete 93 Ram150 to use as a parts truck for $100, engine does not run. No title. my question is has anyone ever chopped a vehicle for scrap? Is it worth it? When i pull the parts i need then the 93 will be scrapped.

 

i would say it depends on what engine that is in the truck. if it has a v8 i would consider trying to get the truck running. the multi port injection v8 has more power. plus if you don't already had a overdrive transmission the 93 should. if you can get it running you could swap it over to your truck and get better gas mileage.

 

I agree strongly with wolfie. Unless of course you see a hole in the side of the block or something. Yes. Its worth it in my opinion when the vehicle is no longer sell-able for at least scrap price. A lot of scrap yards (or scrappers) around here will pick cars up and pay you on the spot. Expect about $300-500 as long as you leave the motor and all the body parts on it, or at least include ones from the 91. Prices may vary in your area.

 

Haggle with them. Tend to low ball you at first.
