Best route or ???
I have already said I'm gonna part out my '69 (don't ask on this thread)....anyway, my chassis is disassembled...to the max. It has been sandblasted and painted....all components.
So, is it more saleable if it is reassembled, to the point that it can be a roller, OR, would it be better for a potential buyer to get it and still be able to get a couple of guys and pick it up to load? By that, I mean the front crossmember and the trailing arms are attached. The stands for the engine mounts are installed, but the center crossmember isn't bolted-down, but is in position and the other parts (control arms/shafts/ball joints/rear end/driveshaft) are easily transportable. To sell it as is, would give the next owner the honor and privilege of assembling it him/herself and the knowledge of how it went together. I realize that there are plusses and minuses to this as a item for sale. As it is, it is more easily transported. If it was assembled, to the point that it can be rolled, would a prospective buyer have questions about the components and the abilities of the assembler?

Re: Best route or ???
As a rule, what I have tried to sell as a 'basket of parts", either scared the next guy....or put him in the spot to want it cheap! IMO,if you have time to make the chassis a roller, you may do better on the sale. As far as the sheet metal, you can probably sell the box,cab,clip separately & come out on the pcs. Hope that helps a tad....crazyL

Re: Best route or ???
I'd roller whatever possible; removes the "missing/wrong parts" question. I read your other thread...too bad to see the white flag waved, but I think it'd be less selling hassle to mock up the whole truck to really show a visual of what's being bought.

Re: Best route or ???
What it was...and what it has become:
I don't have current pix of the rest of the parts...well, okay the cab, but I've shown that before. As far as mocking them up into something....that would mean I wanted to keep it and work on it. I don't. I dig the comments about making it a roller, I just don't know if I want to do it. I'll see what kind of offers I get as is, or maybe parting out the chassis becomes the bottom line. Thanks for the feedback.
