A scrapper isnt always taking it to the yard,Sometimes its saving it from the yard!

A friend and I went in halves on this $300 1963 chevy c10 that we are parting out instead of scrapping!was a running and driving truck owner tore it apart to restore but situations in life changed and we were there to save it! no plans on keeping this one to build like my other truck solely bought as a business venture....most of the smaller parts will be sold in my ebay store, larger parts on the local craigslist.

complete truck in parts, minus the rear bumper, and bed wood:

with help from some friends we got the cab and bed set back on the frame:

doors with good glass $75 each, front and rear suspension $250,trailing arms $50, frame will go to scrap yard, list goes on and on of parts and prices, sometimes it pays to save them and know what to look for if you have time and space to store the parts, I know it might be harder for some people to get rid of parts due to there area, but i live in old car central and have alot of the parts already sold without even posting a add on craigslist or ebay, just by word of mouth and facebook post and i picked the truck up last sunday...

more parts some not even for this truck:

Well, first off i'll say that i dont do any automotive type scrapping/salvage. But, this post was well prepared, great photos and interesting detail on parts, pricing and plans to make $$. I read every blurb and looked at all the pictures in spite of the fact that the subject is not something i bother with much. Well done! Hope you make a bucket of cash on it and do more with your partner soon.

hmm. the back trim is what makes that price but thats the one you rarely find. i think someone was trying to repop it if i recall correctly. im on the truck forum alot since i have a 63.

the casting numbers sayits afour bolt main, but they produced 2bolt and 4bolt's under the same casting # the only way ill know for sure is opening it up and visually inspecting it...

totally agree with you the back trim is what makes that price, only used that ebay add as a reference and the reason why i said they "could" go for,and that we have the previous owner looking for the trim....either way with out the back trim....or with out the correct sails you cant have the complete correct custom cab trim package, so thats why i said ill make money on the sails...because to the right person on ebay thats looking for them...i should get more for the sails then the standard set of sails...maybe not the $1500...but atleast the $300 i payed for the whole truck if not more!

very good job, theres alot of people that just do a quick strip or take nothing off at all before hauling in to the yard, its that way of thinking that helps us out because its less competition we have to deal with

Rust free cabs and beds when trucked in from Cali to Indy will bring an easy $1000 or more each. When I completely part out a vintage vehicle (car or truck), I usually hang on to the title and any matching vin tags, as there are always buyers looking for specific 'historic documents' with tags. I also like the big block 390 fender emblems, as they would look right at home on my '64 Ford w/390.

SWEET around here that bed would bring every peyyn of $1500 and the rad would do $200-$250
