Scrapping my 89 Ford 4x4

Rustngrease, We're about an hour and a half apart. That's pretty close. I'll definitely let you know if I get any of those trucks, you can come down and get first pickings

I always do well parting out F-series trucks. Those and the older Jeep Cherokees are all over the place here, and their owners love them. More than once, I've heard things like "I like the old body style" and "They don't make these anymore and I don't like the newer ones". Manual transmissions are also very well-liked around here, and they're getting too hard to find in newer trucks. I know a few guys who have kept their older trucks for that reason alone.

I've had my share of unwanted orphan junkers that got literally zero bites for any parts, including some that I thought would be more popular. Among the recent duds were a 1996 Olds 88 and a 1998 Buick Skylark. My most recent good one was a 2002 Pontiac Montana van, the parts buyers stripped that thing to a skeleton!

I think the popularity of certain vehicles can vary greatly depending on where you are, and with it, the demand for used parts varies.
