Part it out or Parts?

Important difference here is the 'it out'. I have an 88 truck (5sp,22RE) that has been rolled, but is legal and driveable (except the clutch). I want the engine (just over 100k miles) for my 4-runner and the transfer case for a Marlin Crawler doubler. Should I keep the rest of the truck to use for parts for my runner (212k miles) or part it out to get some of the stuff I want/need for the 4-Runner. I need stuff like tires, cargo rack, hitch rack, bumper spare tire carrier, seats, lockers and a hi-lift jack. Are the parts left (I only need engine and x-fer case) worth enough that they are worth selling or am I wasting my time and should I just keep them for my own use. I checked the parts for sale page and there are very few items. The engine-tranny section has only 8 items so I cannot tell if the tranny would be worth anything. The rest of the mechanical stuff does not seem to be in too high demand, so I may just be spinning my wheels trying to sell this stuff. By selling parts I would be able to get my 4-Runner done quicker and with less drama. so, in the end I need to know if there is much demand for the parts left? Thanks.

The frame is good. There is a flatbed welded (do not ask) to the back. It is ready for planks or metal, but currently there is no floor to the bed. The truck also has a title. No wheels or tires either. Maybe take the engine/x-fer case and sell the rest? I have pics but I think they are too large for here. I will try. Give me a minute.

car32...no interior to speak of. There is a bench seat, but it is kind of trashed. The question that I originally asked for this post is kind of moot, but, I planned on starting a new thread for that soon. Thanks for asking.
