Unadvertised, happened to see it through the trees on a local farm. Guys says scrap value is about $500 and that is where it is going in two weeks. Or... should I drag it home?

I love your COE. There is a big 8 ton COE near me, that I would dearly love, but I have no money, nor a tall enough carport! | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 252 Shop Shark | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 252 | Save it! Even if you don't do anything to it someone else might want it and the price seems reasonable. | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 110 Wrench Fetcher | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 110 | Take her home! Even if you don't have a use for a truck that size, Fix her up and put a roll back bed on it. Set up with that it would sell fast at a car show.

*I think he will take less than $500, too.

Heck the two fenders and hood are worth $500!!!!!

But this is a nice looking truck with lots of potential. I applaud you for keeping it from going to the crusher.

I don't have room or a need for a big truck either but if I ever have time to work on it I'm planning to put it on a later model 3/4 ton frame with a flatbed.I'm partial to the 41-46 trucks because we had a '46 2 ton grain truck when I was a kid. Don't let it get to the scrapper.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts.
I'd hate to see it get crushed.

I'd love to have a ranch to take them all too with plenty of room to let them run free, backfire and chase fords to their hearts content. | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,554 'Bolter | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,554 | If you like it,buy it,do what you said above. It will be really cool to see when your done.

The grill isn't too bad either. You could buy it and turn it into a tow truck. Wouldn't that look cool to see an old truck towing a new BMW. lol
