I can normally recover 3-5lbs of wire harness from cars. Wire harness goes for $.55/lbs at my yard, a bit more down the road if your in good standing with the owner and not just a drug money runner. And all together I got about $150 worth of parts off a scrap s-10 thats now my primary scrap trailer if that helps in your decision making.
