Spent the last week pulling parts. Got rid of the motor with the turbo, manifolds & alternator for $1600. Another $800 for the dump box. And another couple hundred for some odds & ends (tail lights, door handle, etc). The starter & hitch are already spoken for bringing a couple more hundred! And the tires/wheels are expected to be sold on Monday for another $500!

All I've got left now of any real value is the tranny, rear axle & scrap metal. Taking tomorrow off & gonna pull the axle on Monday. Those couple pieces can sit in my shed till they sell. And the scrap metal goes on Tuesday! And even better discovery when I went to pull the motor was finding out that it was a freshly rebuilt tranny attached; looks basically new....and from what I'm able to gather, I'm gonna score bigger than expected on that one too...

Funny thing, nothing but low ball offers on everything till last Monday, then all of a sudden I got flooded with calls with real offers. All in all, much more profitable than I thought a couple weeks ago!

Thanks for all the advice. Now it's time to run out & buy a new one
While it sucks to hear another gmt400 has been dismembered, it's good to hear you're at least getting some of your money back.



That 14 bolt FF should bring you at least another 5 spot......
