If you have experience with body work you could give it a go, but let's be honest, you said it was like a $900 truck with 200k on it. Get it to running condition and run it till it blows

It is beat, who knows how long it has left. I'll see if I can find a cheap salvage yard piece and swap and run it till she dies. Just for play anyway.

if your going to scrap it, remove the good stuff, which appears most of the interior is. you can get alot more parting some of the stuff out.

I'd personally fix it, you cant buy much for $380.00 These days, If it turns out further down the road that you still cant afford to fix it, then sell it someone that will, or part it out on here! Ether way you wont loose money on it, unless you take it in for scrap!

Ya dont scrap it. You can make like $700 just parting it out then still have what evers left. I would fix it tho. Would be a shame to scrap it.

You last three think I should save her. I'd love to have the 4x4, i hate my 2wd. Michigan snow plays with my truck every time I drive.
