Parts and Financial questions
Hey guys been a long time since I've posted on here. I've got a question that might seem stupid, but you guys know more than I do! I found in my local Craigslist a 1986 chevy truck http://lewiston.craigslist.org/pts/3307450760.html for $500. Now the questions if I buy it and take what parts I need (Bed, Doors, Tranny and interior parts) And then take the rest to scrap how much money would I actually lose from the deal? and What parts besides the fenders and grill would be interchangable between my 1979 chevy silverado k20 3/4 ton and this 1986 chevy custom deluxe k20 1/2 ton? Any thing you could point out would be Great Thanks! :metal:

Re: Parts and Financial questions
the only way to use the grill is to swap all of the front clip. have u gone to look at the in side and what motor is in it and how good it is.

Re: Parts and Financial questions
I don't really want any of the front clip parts, I have no Idea yet I'm still trying to get ahold of the owner so I could come take a look at it.

Re: Parts and Financial questions
Thats a way better than my "$500 or less" truck. It looks rust free

Re: Parts and Financial questions
Let me know how much for that brush guard if you buy it!
|
Re: Parts and Financial questions
I'd be tempted to put that truck back together and sell it.

IF you do buy it, I WILL buy the entire grille assembly from you. I'm serious.
It looks worth the $500 they want for it plus you can haggle the price down even lower. RIZ |

Re: Parts and Financial questions
Get the title, otherwise you normally can't scrap it.

But having a title would help with legal actions if I do a cab swap. |
Re: Parts and Financial questions
I am not sure exactly what you are taking off that truck, but around here and intact vehicle of most any kind is supposed to bring $450 in scrap value - they haul it away. Not sure what the market is like in your neck of the woods, but if you strip it down to separate metal, copper, etc., I think you would get more yourself.

Re: Parts and Financial questions

Re: Parts and Financial questions
Wow, that is a deal for $500. Very solid looking truck, toss an engine in it and go.

Re: Parts and Financial questions
All cab parts should interchange just fine I actually have an opposite of what you got an 86 truck and a 79 parts truck. As far as firewall forward there might be some differences depending on what the truck was optioned with especially if you start getting into wiring harnesses

That truck also looks like it has a 4" lift on it. I would honestly build it up. The body looks way too nice for scrap (at least in PA that truck would run $2500 in the condition it sits).

Re: Parts and Financial questions
hi it looks solid
but the front rotors look rusted,may be to much to use them... if from sitting what else... might drop the price whats the lift bit looks added to the rear axle ... I'd ask for more pics before to long a drive both sides ,cab mounts,engine bay,drive train,lift |
