Worth trying to sell?

I've got the original box off my 1951 3100. I built my own box sides, tailgate and front panel. Do you think it's worth trying to sell whats left? The box is missing the fenders, tailgate, stake pocket braces. So basically it's the side panels which are pretty beat up and badly stressed cracked around the stake holes, bent front panel, and floor cross members. So what do you think, sell it (how much) or scrap it.

If I had room, I'd make a trailer out of it and keep it!

Yes, sell it. Check scrap value and double it. Negotiate from there

Or turn it into yard furniture, a frame, cut down length, make a garden bench.

Re: Worth trying to sell?

Well I cleaned up the garage to make room for bringing the truck home in a couple weeks, so I took a couple pics of the box. Guess I'll post it on CL and see what happens, also have some s10 wheels and tires...maybe I'll get a little cash for the next phase of my build.
