Parting Out versus Scrap
On Saturday my daughter hit black ice and rolled her pickup and horse trailer. She is okay but probably the pickup is totaled. She only had liability.
What do you all think? If it can't be fixed, should she store it on her land and try to part it out, or just sell it to a scrap yard? 2002 F-350 4x4 V-10 with about 100K miles.

Part it.
One ton 4x4 drivetrain will bring real money.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Unless she or you have the ability and motivation to part it fairly quickly, it will likely just sit there and become a critter magnet while losing value as the years pass.
If she liked the truck and the drive train is still in good shape, try to find a similar F-350 with a mostly dead drive train and do the swap. Again, this only works if her/you can do the swap. Things like wheels/tires, battery, spare tire might be worth pulling before selling the remains. |

I just hate to see her sell it to a salvage yard for $500 when the engine and drive train is probably worth what - $5K+++ ???

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Post it up whole on Craigs list or marketplace on facebook for a price you think fair or a little higher so you have room to talk. Probably still net you more money than the salvage yard.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
If it still runs or atleast starts up. You likely could get a easy $2000 for it.
Someone looking for a swap candidate may really want it. |

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Scrapping would make me sad. So much wasted money if you go that route.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
I’d part it out in a heartbeat but not everyone is up to the challenges that some times come with that route. The V10 isn’t the most desirable engine either unfortunately. If it was the 7.3 or the 6.slow it would probably sell itself.

She did not consult me before she bought it, but considering the low mileage and condition for the age, I can see why she bought it. Insurance would probably have not paid anywhere near what she paid for it anyway.

Wow. At least she isn't hurt! I got nothing on what to do with it, though.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Update: the damn towing company tried to get her to sign over the title for a $600 bill, but she had it taken to her sister's place instead. Plus they were charging her $50 a day even though today was the first business day that she could take care of it
Anyway, they actually started it up and moved it back and forth. Sputtered and smoked a little at first as expected. She is going to look for a body repair person that might be willing to fix the top of the cab which is pushed down a fair bit on the passenger side. Considering all the fabrication I've seen on this forum it doesn't seem impossible. There's really not much else wrong with it. One side of the bed is a bit wavy and a tail light broken. The front end is perfect. It has a really nice heavy grill guard and bull bar that's probably worth $1500 by itself! Oh yeah, and one mirror broke off.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
I've had a top replaced on a rolled '85 Chevy pickup before. Shouldn't be that expensive

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
That's it? If it doesn't look seriously worse from the side, I'd repair it, or sell it whole. No way I would part that one.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
I’ve got a buddy in Idaho that fixes late model totals just like that. He clips the roof from another truck just like we do to ours when the roofs rust out. I was expecting a lot worse than that.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Yeah, it might have only been $600 back in 2002. I was pricing them last year and some place had one on clearance for only a grand.
There was also a sort of headache rack on the bed which protected the cab some. The back window still broke. The passenger door window broke but apparently the driver door window was down or something because it didn't break, but now it won't quite go all the way up. Probably the driver door is a bit kinked. The windows in the little back doors didn't break but she said one or both of the back doors won't open.
