'68 for parts, should i buy it?

guy stopped today that has a '68 and 2 3rd gens he wants to sell. has rebuilt 6 cylinder and 12 bolt posi. a few good doors and v-8 doghouse. he wants $500.00 and i didnt see any reason to beat him down since scrap value is more than that. i dont need it, i plan on removing anything of value and scrapping the rest. what should i salvage?

Most everything that is not WELDED :-)

i have torches! dont need to stop at welds. rockers are shot, around windsheild doesnt look so great, floor is patched. couple doors are starting to go but hinges are tight as new. if you need something, let me know. if i make my money back and keep a few parts, i will be happy.

What condition is the steering wheel in?

If you have room or somewhere to store it I would keep the whole thing.

i think the steering wheel is good, i could store but i have too many unfinished projects setting around. that and i want my $500.00 back pretty quick. the sides are junk, rockers are shot and he cut in windows. not sure if roof is something to save but will cut the floor in front of seats and keep whole front.

That gas tank looks nice , sweet find for 500

I would be on that like a horse fly on a meddow muffin.

Me to a d make sure that you grab that bench seat to.

he has 2, not a rip or tear anywhere, evan though their laying in the weeds. he said take the seats for free, evan if i dont buy van.

Heck yea man & the chicken wire to.

There's someone looking for a bench seat on Craigslist for an early Chevy van. They would probaly want both of them. I would say that if you clean them up a little they will bring $75 to $100 each easy!!!

chicken wire comes with it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.I see a whole van,not just parts.Good 2nd Gen parts there.Fuel tank(possible sender),2 good bumpers,dog house,2 rear seats,springs,lotta other lil goodies your not even thinking of.But as far as 2nd to 1st like yours,not much will interchange as a whole.Once the bigger ticket/desirable things are gone,theres a few things you'd have at a few bucks each.

if i dont buy it, a scrapper will. i dont 'need' the van or anything on it. side doors are nicer than mine and maybe put on rear for no windows? i know everyone wants the v8 doghouse lotta parts that guys need. its 3 miles from house and really cant lose. just want to get the parts to people that need them, turning a profit is secondary. anything i gave up on this site in past was free, but i do need to get my $500.00 back from this and another hundred for torches (fuel) grinder wheels and probably a roll of first aid tape.

i give away all my extra parts to people in need. i love the fact of going out of your way to help ppl get that little part they need for years...

Hows the sheetmetal behind the rear bumper, piece that the brackets go through. My 64 needs this panel Thanks Bob

didnt look at that. probably get it home in a week (need to make room) will post pics of any part needed.

I need side panel cargo doors are they still avalible.

did you get the van? do you think the window frame will fit my 67?

oh and what about the grills, i need a pair also.

I need those bench seats, or at the least, the one for the front. I think shipping via Greyhound is fairly reasonable. Did you get the van?

got the van, most parts are gone. still have the seats but shipping will be pricy. from 16063 if you want to check around. have most of the roof, passanger door in fair condition and a bunch of smaller items. i will post pics of whats left next week. what dont sell is headed to ebay or scrapyard.

I did some poking around on Greyhounds website, but I don't know the nearest bus station to you for an exact quote, so I just chose Pittsburg. Unfortunately they don't pick it up like UPS, it has to be taken to the bus station.

Sandy. Are the rear axle shafts in good shape?
I need a good shaft for a 12 bolt rear if any one has one!1
