​​​​I work for a tow company and they brought in an 08 F250 5.4 Larat Supercab and an 02 F350 6.8 Larat Quadcab. Before they go to the crusher I think I might pillage them. I have an 02 F250 XLT Supercab. My question for the great and awesome community is, what is worth taking off them?

And before anyone ask, unfortunately I can't take parts to sell or give away. If they weren't, what California calls, Junk Slip cars I would buy them and part them out but I would get in a ton of trouble from my employer. Last guy got fired and is now shunned by the towing community in my area.

 

I'm going to bump this to see what people have to say

 

The side view mirrors ain't cheap to replace

 

An extra V10 would be nice to play with.

 

Sadly since it came from a chop shop they were gone but if rumor has it right we maybe getting a couple more


Already had my eye on it, 308K on my truck I was thinking to rebuild it with a few upgrades. Be fun to punch it to fit the 93.5 mm pistons but I don't see that being possible. But I will clean it up and give it some breathing space, cam and over side valves. I'll be doing a suggestion post on upgrades to do.

 

My boss is asking me how much I am offering for the motor. Not trying to low ball but a fair price

 

how much did he pay for them? Base your offer on that if you know

 

Nothing, the city pays us to clean and crush junk slip cars

 

Grab anything thats not rotted...

 

I would grab the tailgates for sure if they aren’t rusted.

 

Central Valley California, we rarely have cars rot here

 

both beds are gone

 

It would be kind of hard to take the tailgates then lol.

 

All things being equal: if it's yours to play with, tinker, mod for "your truck".
- Fuel tank & all straps/bolts, hoses
- Radiator, over flow tank, PS parts, master cylinder assembly
- calipers, pads & rotors, drive shafts, transfer case
- Interior padding/insulation, Door seals, any of the wiring harness & most importantly the connectors for this or that - that hasn't already been butchered off the truck, door inner workings, solenoids, switches, locks & keys
And save every nut or bolt you come across & leave 1/3-1/2 all lug nuts on the trucks

He k if you had access to 4 steelies that had air in them get those OEM rims & tires *IF they are free of roadrash*

All this is to say, nothing wrong with having spare parts and being able to tweak something off the truck and see if it's gonna workout without having to drive around with a disassembled truck for weeks while the tweak gets put on the back burner.
And if that rummor Mill is solid and the fuel tank doesn't survive the tweaking, then hold it aside and wait for the next round of crusher bound trucks and bring this one back that the tweak failed with and swap it for the latest trucks tank and parts......

Oh BTW how much fuels in the tanks?

 

Fuel tanks are empty and I would have to pay for anything I take off the trucks
