Ok gang, here's what's shaking.
I'm parting out the '90 Classic. Have the rear axle completely gone, a-frame, trailing arms, everything. Sitting on spare tires at the moment in the back.
In the front I have the driveline removed, rear track rod removed, wheels and calipers removed. Brake lines drained.
My goal is to get the third member removed. That's the primary objective.
The secondary objective would be to get the CV's and axles out too.
So...do I remove the flanges and pull the CV's/axles then the third member.....
OR
do I pull the swivel balls out slightly w/hubs attatched and remove third member.
I have someone coming for the engine within the next few weeks, transmission is spoken for, B/W t-case is marginal, but unspoken for.
Interior is largely there (seats, etc...) dash is gutted. Headliner still doesn't sag! (225K miles)
Clean Oregon title
I'm wondering how long I keep this thing around for. I am pulling out the PS box, all the brake stuff (I did the non-ABS conversion on this truck), and relays, etc...
How much is the body (mostly straight, reasonable paint) and frame and title worth? $500? $1000?
I could drag it to my fathers farm about 500 miles away, about 1000 round trip. At 2bucks a gallon I'm wondering if it's worth it to ditch it, try to keep it until the home owners assn. starts to complain, or drag it to my dad's place.
HELP!!!!!

PS OS: this isn't supposed to be blatant, but just a solicitation for advice, I can ditch it if needs be. :flipoff2:
