parts truck, part 3/3

When last we left off, i was removing the stone deflector

That piece is now installed on the green DD bronco, so, moving on, i want to take the front clip apart

Check this fender.  For a plow truck, this thing is ​mint

Here's the only rust on the fender, super minimal.  This one is a keeper

The driver fender isnt perfect, but i think it might be salvageable

Some rust here, pretty sure i can fix this easily enough

This kind of sucks though

Thats a big dent, and i dont know if i have the skill to fix it.  Time will tell.

Core support is junk, thats going.  Im saving the fender liners.  Entire under-hood harness is already removed and in a box to save

Motor/trans coming out

Split the motor and trans.  Giving the trans to a coworker as his 97 F250's E4OD needs a front pump

The space between the block and the spacer plate was full of....stuff.  The spacer was rotted out, and i had to needle scale the back of the block to get it mostly clean, before putting it on the stand

With that done im pretty much done with this thing so i pushed it outside

I took the cowl, and the black windshield trim since its semi rare.  Then took the top off and threw it in the back of the F250 for now

Little dude helped me hitch up the trailer...

Took a chain to rig up the draglink so it wouldnt steer so wonky...

...and onto the trailer it went!

Took it to the scrap yard Monday morning, and got $174 for it as it sits.  So the total tally is this:

Purchase price: $700
sold cats for $100
scrapped bronco for $174

that gets me down to $426, and i still have an electric shift BW1356 to hopefully sell.

parts kept:
96 roller cam 351w
"parts" E4OD i gave to a coworker
mass-air airbox
under-hood harness
PCM
stone deflector
cowl
black windshield trim
fenders
fender liners
entire power window harness
power rearview mirror/illuminated visor harness
rear cargo panels
tcase skid
hard top.  Dunno why just wanted it because its green!

all told, i think i made out pretty good!
