scoobdog Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It should say on the badge visible next to the door, but I can't zoom in on it. I think it would be 1 ton, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 At any rate, the $2200 is steep for a vehicle that isn't running, but the body is in good shape and the stake bed is attractive to a contractor or a smaller supply delivery service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Alphonse Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Depends on the driveline and how much rust and what works/doesn't. Like, if it has a smallblock 400 and an SM465 transmission and solid floors, hell yeah $2000... it's a '73 or '74. Buuut, its been sitting. Tires will need replaced, brakes will need work. So if it's a 350/auto truck... $1500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if it is like super low miles and in really good shape and all original, it can bring in something too. 73-87 Chevy trucks are on that borderline where collectors want then and stuff like that, but at the same time the market isn';t there for them yet. Scroll through local listings and see what similar trucks are going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have parted out 5 or 6 73-87 Chevy trucks.... the time and effort to do it is not worth it. Even the clean ones have rusty bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no. Go ahead and try to remove the front clip and cab from a "mildly" rusty truck that is this body style and get back to me.

PhilosipherStoned Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Salvagers don't bother with that shit I know. You'd have to break it off most likely, there may be "salvageable parts" though which is what you look for. I'd check under the hood if anything.. but all that snow.. rain.. eh.

You'd have to break it off most likely, there may be "salvageable parts" though which is what you look for. I'd check under the hood if anything.. but all that snow.. rain.. eh. Well let's break it down here real quick. Say it takes you about 12 hours total labor getting the front half of the truck parted out... as in cab, front clip, cooling system, engine/trans. Now factor in the average prices for everything. Most likely, that cab is non-A/C and is also a 2wd cab (trans tunnel is lower than a 4x4 cab, less desired). $500 if it has no rust holes. Front clip... well all together and its shape, could bring in $300. Doors - probably manual doors, $300 on a good day. The whole interior... gauge cluster, dash pad, fingerbang bench, plain no-tilt auto steering column (73-83 had wipers and high beams on the dash/floor so it is not desired) ... all that together maybe $300. Engine: If it's a 350, probably $150 running. 2wd TH400... $150 as well... nothing special. Or just sell the thing for $1500 and not go through all that bullshit... plus an undesired frame with a flatbed on it sitting in your yard you probably will end up selling for $500 about 4 years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'd say that's a pretty fair estimate. May even be a bit generous I know, but without actually looking at everything theres no way to be exact. I definitely wouldn't try to do all the "labor" in one day. Most people do as much as they want.. Sell what they can. and come back tomorrow. It helps to have a shop, and tools though.I doubt someones going to pay $1500 for it if it doesn't run. Salvaging is always a last ditch option for me when I can't get buyers. It helps to have junk and scrap yards around. They are your friends.
