I've got a pretty nice toyota pu that I've spent the last two decades or so upgrading - it's gone about as far as a gen2 can go without getting the gas axe out and hacking off the suspension. It's really nice for an old girl that was designed in the 80s.
I'm ready to move on, next up is a Dodge Cummins Ram.

I just know when I go to sell the Toy peeps will be pointing to Kelly Blue Book and trying to tell me I should sell it to them for $4k or something ridiculous like that. Shoot, there's more than that in the armor, much less the driveline. Pretty sure I can get kbb for the motor alone.

So I thought I'd just part it out, right down to the last bolt and sensor. I put it together, I can take it apart. I've got an ebay account and a pretty girlfriend to hold the parts in pics and I know you guys are always hot for stuff like this. Seems like I ought to be able to get a whole lot more out of the toy by parting it.


So I'd like some advise from those of you who have come to this same conclusion and have taken their trucks apart and sold them bit by bit.

1. Is it worth it?
2. How do you figure out what to price all that stock stuff? Can I somehow get a list of prices that the junk yards would use for my make & model?
3. Which part does the title go with?
4. Anything else I need to know or think about?


Thanks in advance.

Title goes with the cab.

Check ebay for simmilar parts being sold for pricing

What are the specs on the truck? That will tell us if its worth it.

The ‘91 took a full size chevy nearly head on and sent the driver to the hospital and the truck to the bone yard, we drove the toy went to dinner. It needed some repairs, but the bumper was straight and true. It made the migration to the ‘94 without issue. Very strong stuff yet not heavy at all.

wait one cotton-pickin' minute, that's the truck your parting out?? have you gone off the deep end or what?

MonsterMaxx

I don't know, maybe. What do you mean?

WetbehindEars

SO, lets look at this logically.........

You spent countless man hours, sweat, and probably a little blood to build a one of a kind truck customized "just to your liking" truck and probably better than original... AND... now you want to part it out, and go buy a truck thats.... build the way the factory will think you like it..... and just like everyone else on the road???
Hmmmmm.....
I would say you have reached the point where there are no more wrenches to turn and you are getting bored....
SO........LOGICALLY SPEAKING.....
Go buy some OLD FORD and try and keep it running. It will eat or all your spare time and money, and it will save your Yota!

MonsterMaxx

That's about right. I ran out of things to do on this years ago. I've had this body style for nearly 20 years now. I still like the look, but I'm ready to move on.

I want the Cummins because I want to switch to biodiesel and brew my own. ___ them rich azz Arabs.
Bio is better for the environment and it's made from trash. So I'm helping on both sides of the equation.
Plus the lubricity is higher than dino fuel so it's better for the engine.
And of course, instead of smelling like a stinky diesel truck it'll smell like french fries and fried shrimp.

Also I want/need some more room.
Don't worry, the dodge will get upgraded just like the toy did.


I've done the 'old ford' thing too.

wheatus

heres an idea swap the 3vze for a cummins diesel then you can work on your toyota more and still get that frech fry smell. then for fun stretch the cab to make a four door extended cab. that should keep you busy for a while.

gary96360

lol a 5.9 cummins wont fit

wheatus

it will if you cut and stretch enough

annoyingrob

Sure it will. There's a guy on pirate that did it. All he needed to do was.... um.... cut the frame, and extend it 11" in the front.

Pariah

well, why dont you just try to sell it on the market for what you want for it, and see if theres any takers? I can personally tell you that if i had the money, i would buy it and i'd probably be willing to pay at least 7000, obviously your truck is worth more than KBB. just put it on the market, and guarenteed anybody who knows whats good for them will pay what you want for it.

gary96360

that truck can be worth about 10 grand in my area

89silverpu

Interesting tire selection...

VT88SR5

Put it up on mautofied.com for what you think the truck is worth and someone will buy it

westjohns yota

just saying 4bt cummins hahahahah! thats a hell of a build thread, and if anything sell the truck whole, someone will buy that gourgous thing

mightymouse

iTrader: (6)

been a couple years on this thread. I'd be willing to bet he's figured it out by now. Or at least i hope so.

westjohns yota

i does agree with mighty mouse ^

So did we ever find out what happened to this rig? Way to pretty to part out IMO, but you'll probably end up getting way more money for it by parting it out then selling it straight up....

It amazes me that you can dump 10k into a rig yet it'll only be worth half that as a whole, yet you can sell each part individually and almost break even, or even sometimes make a profit....almost sickining if you Ask me
