Scrapping my 89 Ford 4x4

I part out cars on a daily basis and from my experiance with this age vehicle the demand for parts are pretty low. most of the time on a newer vehicle I would be taking things like the a/c control, window and door lock switches (power), tail lights, sun visors, radios and things like that and pop them on ebay. but older vehicles like this dont have much demand.....SO the best thing to do is just turn and burn and dont wast to much time or effort unless you want to. to maximize your scrap profit.. remove the wheels and dismount the tires and sell the wheels as clean (no wheel weights or valve stem) keep the rims and tires if you need them they will save you money down the road.. your right they make great trailer tires...remove the a/c compressor, alternator, starter, battery and radiator. These are quick and easy and bring good money.. if you dont have a core buyer in your area just scrap them still better than scrap.. also most intake manifolds are aluminum and could be taken off in minutes with simple hand tools... and of course we all know the catalytic converter is your most important thing to take off of a vehicle before you scrap it...



now if you are technical and can pull the wiring harness then have at it. youll make out good with the wire.. just remove the plastic loom and most clip the ends and you have #1 wire. some buyers also love o2 sensors as well but you need a lot of them to make it worth it.

hope this helps
