Ok guys, I've been allowed to get a 2003 4x4 parts truck, on the condition that i get what i need and have it gone asap. Apparently "we have too many trucks outside, and the neighbors must think we're rednecks" my response was "and?" but it didn't get me any more time surprisingly and i didn;t want to push my luck. I've got some specific stuff I plan to grab already. So my question is, if you had a fully working parts truck with a blown transmission and a short amount of time to take what you could. What would you grab, what's going to break next week that I'll forget to grab?

Thanks guys.

 

grab as much as you can, pull the engine too if it works. You can always turn around and sell what you dont need.

 

I would say your gonna need the whole truck.

 

Grab the engine, rear end, transfer case, blown transmission (still a good core), radiator, headlights, instrument cluster, switches, window motors, grille, wiring harness, even parts that aren't compatible with your 2000. You can trade them for ones that are. Basically, gut it like is was parked in Detroit overnight.

My neighbors find it handy to have a redneck next door. We may not be pretty, but we're useful when needed.

 

great tips, thanks.

 

youre asking the wrong person... i would keep everything. i learned that after getting rid of a parts truck then needed certain things even some nuts and bolt. last time i gutted a k5 blazer i dont think i left anything in that thing
