Yeah 3 some years of working on my rigs, and all the parts Jeeps I have bought have built up.
Heres the list....the short list
-9 t-90/d18 combos
-3 running f-head engines, low miles. & one Jeepster 161 flathead that just needs a head gasket.
-2 Waggy D44s, 2 one ton Timkins
-8 DANA 25s out of waggys, trucks and cjs
~400 lbs of leaf springs
-3 frames left
-2 wagon bodies
-20 Jeep Steel wheels, 15 and 16 inch off Cjs and Wagons and trucks.
3 sets of fenders, 6 sets of doors, 5 hoods, and 15 or so grills.
along with 4 big boxes of engine parts (around 200 lbs per box) .
Sadly I have been trying to sell the stuff for about a year now and have had next to zero people want it. only the tire kickers you know.
I was selling the engines for $150 each. the 6 cylinder for $100. $75 a pop for the tranny combos. Pretty much giving axles and body panels away.
I have a torch now, and im not afraid to use it. Scrap is $8.50/hundred lb. If I can't make at least some money back, scrapp'n it all is the only other way.
What should I do. Took one load of frames (5 cj2a frames) to the scrap yard today......$75 in my pocket. I need more to make up my costs.
