Parting out '83 2wd 'Burb - Seattle

[Metalhead47]

Just bought this thing for the engine, now I need to get rid of it. Good 700r4 2wd tranny, 14bsf/4.10 rearend basically brand new according to paperwork that came with the truck. Lots of nice, straight, rust-free sheetmetal: fenders, hood, doors, tailgate, etc. Even the glass is good (except the windshield). Figure I'd offer it up here, whatever's left in two weeks goes to the scrap yard (if I can get the *@#$(^%!!! paperwork straightend out).

Make me an offer, I honestly don't know what most of this stuff is worth. Rig is on South Whidbey, will be happy to deliver in the Seattle area.

I was just wondering if you had both axels or just the rear one?

Thanks,
Jeff

2wd, so just the rear... unless you mean the front IFS

 

[Plummkrazy]

Buckets or bench front seat?

 

[Metalhead47]

bench, and very tore up i'm afraid.

The inside in general is pretty rough, the outside is nice strangely.

Yup tailgate's nice & straight, just has some old bumper stickers on it. And I need the guts.

Well it's in great shape (see pic), but it looks like any sheetmetal behind the front doors is on temporary hold. Having a paperwork issue and I might end up having to make a trailer out of this damn thing.

Where you at on Whidbey? I'm starting an '84 project burb this spring and I might be able to use the doors.

South end. I get over to the mainland with something big enough to haul doors about once a month on average.

Sweet deal. I've got a place in Maxwelton as well so they could always go there but unfortunately I live about 300 miles away at the moment. The burb is a buddy of mine's that I'm hoping to snag soon but it may be longer than two weeks before I find out (missed the part about scrapping in 2 weeks in your first post) so definitely don't hold out on my account.

Well it's gonna be longer than two weeks for me one way or the other. The sheetmetal on this rig is so nice it'd be a shame to waste it all. If you're looking to start from scratch its got a nice, clean, straight body & frame

 

[cdoggwsu]

I hear ya on the straight sheet metal, but I'm goin' barn doors.

UPDATE:

OK looks like I finally have the ultimate disposal figured out. So anyone who wants any bits let me know, I'm chopping it up this weekend & dumping it the next.

How are the seatbelts? I really need the two retractable belts for the rear seat.

Rear seatbelts are great, but these are the old-school lap-only belts. Front belts are serviceable too. Light tan color.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking for the retractable.
