I have a 2003 parts truck that I acquired over a year ago. No engine, t/case, tranmission. It is sitting at my friend's place. He is planning to sell the house. I do not have room at my own house to park a part truck. I have a couple of weeks to remove what I need and take the rest of the truck to the scrapyard. I wrote down a list of things to dismantle (limited storage in 6x6 storage shed).

Am I missing anything that may be useful to store, especially with a number of 2003/2004 trim parts becoming obselete?

INTERIOR

• Speedo cluster / cover, including all the switches around the speedo cover
• Fuse book panel, fuse, relays (under steering wheel)
• Steering wheel – save the rotary coupler inside the steering wheel
• heater blower motor and two relays – behind glovebox
• Stereo head unit
• Climate Control unit
• All switch panels
• Center Console frame assembly
• Headliner
• Grabhandles and headliner trim components
• Transmission shift lever console case
• Switch plates and switches under the center console cubby box
• A and B pillar internal covers
• Driver and passenger seats
• Door seals

EXTERIOR

• Headlamps
• Tailights
• Grill
• Windshield A-Pillar – have to pry gently to not break the mounting clips behind it
• Windshield cowl
• Wiper motor assembly
• Alpine windows (2X)
• Rear cargo side window (2X)
• Rear Cargo Door glass
• Rear Cargo Handle Cover (above rear license plate)
• Roof gutter trim
• Sunroof assemblies
• Hood
• Bumpers
• Fenders

I would love to keep the axles, driveshaft, chassis frame, etc. But not sure where I will store them. Or keep the drivehshafts at least.

 

Too bad. Parts vehicles are always worthwhile. Do you think you’ll want to be selling any bits?

 

Grab the actuators from the doors

 

I am planning to keep them as spares for myself. The 2003/4s are starting to get pretty rare.

 

Good call! I am going to dismantle and keep all five doors. But I am going to have to hide them somewhere in the house where the wife does not get bothered by them

 

If you keep it all together perhaps you can convince everyone it's only one part. Once you start dismantling it becomes many parts.

 

would you sell the radiator support

 

I am located outside of Vancouver BC. Sorry I am not interested in dealing with shipping unless you can come and pick it up. Truck carcass will be going to the wrecker in 2 weeks.
