I agree with not scrapping the truck.... but on that note. I took a long box from my 84 (about 500 lbs) and about 500 lbs of other scrap parts (frame, mist mounts, etc) from the frame my flatbed came off of to the scrap yard and got $90 for it. They were paying $180/ton and I had 1000lbs.

At least take it to a salvage yard and let us pick it apart as we need.
