Is the pictured truck worth trying to fix? My wife jumped a ditch and pushed the pictured wheel nearly into the wheel well.

I do my own repairs and have Haynes manuals. If nothing else, I plan to hook a chain around the wheel and a tree and repeatedly tug it gently to see the outcome. This truck is not too important, but it sitting there looking beat and sad bothers me.

 

Scrap it! You will never get that right without a frame table and a whole lot of parts and looking at the rest of the truck it doesn't look worth the investment.

 

Is there a way to recoup any of the 1700 I have in the truck? Is parting out a truck like this worth the effort?

Thanks for your reply!

 

I don't think you'll see much profit in parting it out, after all the time you'll put into the process... I'd check a few local junk yards, most will buy vehicles from you, and if the drive train is in good condition, that helps the price tremendously. BUT, don't expect them to hand you $1700 for it...

And I agree, the frame is FUBAR... looks like everything from the control arm mounting locations to the bumper mounting and fender are all out of whack... Sorry dude
