the body is worth more alone....... imho

Can't disagree with that. It's clear the chassis needs to be thrown away and you can't just put it on the curb for the garbage man!

aw, c'mon, it CAN'T be that hard to dump a pile of scrap metal in desmoneys iowa.....

the rear end has got to be worth something (the 2.8 v6 prolly isn't)

It appears he's a cobbler by trade.

Well, if I go to the right neighborhood I could probably roll it off into someone's front yard and it would never be noticed!

Dunno how common this is, but the scrap metal dealers around here aren't fond of taking cars if you don't have a title, unless they know you. They don't want to dispose of the evidence of a car that's been stripped.

Well around here if you take a car and cut it in half and take one half in on one week and the other half in the next they do not even consider it a car anymore. They do not even ask for a title in that condition. And frames are not even looked at ever.

Funny thing there 100s of cars trucks laying around because the rumor of how "EASY" and s-10 swap is. It aint and 99% of the time looks like trash with the wheels in the wrong spot.

Saw one the other day the guy cut the fender and moved the wheel opening.....what a mess and it only took him 5 years to do.
Too bad all experts in this S-10 craze would not show how wonderfull it really is LOL

This one should say"I read how to do this on www."
