71 Chevy C10 parts truck

I'm thinking of buying a 71 Chevy C10 truck for parts. It doesn't have a motor, tranny, radiator, anything under the hood. The hood is in very good shape. The front fenders are in very good shape with light surface rust. The drivers door is in good shape except that the window crank handle is stripped. The passenger door is good except for a dent at the bottom. The truck has all three original black seat belts and the black visors. It also has the black door panels in pretty decent shape. The windshield and back glass are in good shape and not cracked at all. The cab floor is decent with typical rust on the front sides and in the back cab corners. The bed is shot. No title for this truck. The guy who has this is wanting to sell it with another 71 that is a driver, except that the driver is rough. He is wanting $800 for both. I don't really want the driver because it is not a fixer upper and I would just resell again. I found out that he bought the parts truck for $100 originally, which is a pretty good deal, but I offered him $100 for the parts truck and he is waiting to see if he sells both. I was planning on buying it and taking off the good stuff that I mentioned earlier and taking the rest of the truck to the scrap yard. I would like to get in the used parts business for these trucks, but aren't sure if the demand for parts is around here in Missouri. Does anyone think this truck is worth more than $100 if I want to make a little selling the parts off it? Let me know what you think.
