Whats the going scrap value on a 1980 K-20 single cab longbed with no engine/trans/tcase?
It hurts to say, but I am done with this truck. I got it 5 years ago as an in-between-er while I finished building the 73 F-250 4x4, but my mistake was getting an old truck in bad shape that still needed to pass smog. For the first few years I had a guy that would overlook the little details as long as it would pass the sniffer test, which was great till he moved away. Now all the places I go to are so anal about things saying they will fail me just for having a chrome air cleaner or because one of my gas tanks is disconnected because it still needs to be tested. Long story short, the smog situation this year plus hundreds of little things still left to do to get this truck just right finally tripped the switch in my brain saying I should just cut the losses and run. Thing is, I need some parts off it that would kill whatever chance I had at selling it 'whole' for any decent amount of money.
My plan now is to pull the engine/tranny/tcase out and sell them, then strip the winch, HID lights, switches, gauges, hydroboost, tires and use those on the ford. Maybe even recycle the custom winch bumpers.
...And then scrap the K-20. or maybe first throw it on Craigslist for scrap value or even free, got the title right here if they wanna make it run again. Its a camper special, 8600GVWR
What would be a reasonable asking price for a recently rebuilt 350 sbc, Th-400, and NP205 combo? Complete with ALL engine accessories, radiator, carb, hurst shifter, T-case levers, driveshafts.
