Supercab part out?

I just looked at a 79 2wd super cab while delivering a car to a friend out of mine in connecticuit. I have my trailer and may buy this truck. The top third of the the cab is rusted beyond repair. Gutter rail and top of door jambs are shot. The lower half is exceptionally good. Actually rust free. Question is, is there any value to the bottom half or cutting up and selling off pieces of the bottom half?.

It's a 2wd. Unless it is 300 bucks or less I wouldn't touch it. It isn't worth the hassle of parting and selling unless there are some rare parts on it you want.

Sounds like it's worth scrap value at best...

Grab any misc. parts you may need/want.

If it's got trim, it might be worth it depending on what you can get it for. Otherwise I wouldn't do it.

Ben,
Is the headliner intact?

Jim,

I did look at the headliner. It appeared to have some attachment hanging from the passenger side. I did not look close to see what it was, but I don't think it was standard, therefore there might be a hole in it.
