Re: parts truck: what would you strip out

If it were me I would keep the whole thing and part it as I had time.

Even cross members can come in handy. My son and I build old trucks, mostly for fun, and every once in a while we need a cross memeber.

Metal is real high around here and we often use pieces of hoods and such as patch panels. My son is the welder/body person and is getting pretty good at patching rusted areas.

I think we have built some where in the neighborhood of 6 so far, but have only sold 2. Only two were frame off jobs and we kept both of them, one for my son's wife and one for one of my grandson's.

I am lucky though, I have no problem storing stuff since I live on a farm and my wife says nothing about our trucks, since I keep the parts ones out of sight.
