ranchhopper Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 All I was told is they buy them to take them apart when I asked them the same question.

rsb502 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Get the whole truck, the grille and bumper go together and they're unobtainium at this point, hell the hood, grille, bumper combo is probably worth its weight in gold if you need one for a restoration Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38034-what-a-shame/#findComment-269646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1957B61Vt Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I would be surprised if they would sell it whole.Scrapers / parts yards say they are worth moreIn pieces than whole . That sucks for us hobby truck guysI tried a few months back on an R model and the guy wouldn't sell it wholeIt had water in oil offered him 7000 he said he got over 10000 in pieces.Good luck though I hope you get it before it is all apart.

Superdog Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 WTF is wrong with people???Parting that is almost as bad as exporting I don't know how you can say that. Once it's parted it's dead forever. I hate exporting more than anybody ,but I have seen pics of some trucks from overseas that seem like the owners are just as proud and take as good of care as alot of us do here,just like there are people here who beat the shit out of there trucks and never take care of them,so at least exporting it does stand a chance of finding a decent home. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38034-what-a-shame/#findComment-269678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I told a member here where it is he is probably going to try to save it the battery box covers, chrome tool box and chrome stack are gone now but its a nice old steel dash truck had a nice steering wheel on it too only saw one crack down by the horn center cap.

NY-B61 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 There has to be something hidden but major to cause the truck to be parted out. Bent frame, cracked block, runaway turbo resulting in huge damage...... still a nice looking unit though!

Superdog Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It was sold under "Cash for Clunkers " can you believe that shit? I'm pretty sure I have it bought,but it will not have a drivetrain,it will be a glider kit.

I'm pretty sure I have it bought,but it will not have a drivetrain,it will be a glider kit.Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act", H.R. 1550Cash-for-Clunkers regulations require that the engine and drive train be destroyed before the car leaves the dealership. Any part remaining with a VIN or Serial number must be shredded. Guess who gave us that little booster?
