Any input?

I have a chance to buy back an 1989 f350 xlt lariat crew cab five speed 4x4 for pretty cheap. I sold it about 8 years ago to a friend. It now is in the 400k range and he had a fire in the engine compartment last week that destroyed the heater core box. It is in pretty rough shape and there are a few things I may want from it but would it be worth parting it out? Anybody have any experience in this or maybe wants it?

I equate buying back a truck...... to re marrying an exwife after some one else had her for 8 years. Let him part it out and you get what you want when the time comes......

The voice of reason

Well over the years I can always trust your posts. So I'll take that one as hearing from the voice of reason. Soif anyone needs a donor truck I know where to find one.
