I got $520.00 at the scrap metal yard for my old truck. If it is not the fuel pump you can probabley get your money back or come out ahead if you take it to a scrap yard.

From what I've heard the price for scrap has dropped drasticly recently.

well, i got the green machine going with the fuel pump, and it runs good. everything about it except the rust seems great. it sat right on the road running 80-85 and got 23 MPG's on 6-month old gas lol. i drove it 140+miles today.
