bingo!

seriously doubt it's worth $1200 scrapped, so offer a bill or two over actual scrap value and everyone wins..

once you get it home, evaluate its worthiness for restoration to driver level or better and go from there..

if it boils down to a parts truck, take inventory and help others complete their projects..

members here are gushing with advice and help, doubt you'll do any worse than break even with fees, most likely better..

and end of the day, save a truck/parts that they're not making any more of

good luck with your decision!
