Front clip swap?

[DNFXDLI]

Maybe if I can crush it small enough maybe I can get the USPS to cancel their 'If it fits, it ships' boxes

That makes me hurt a little inside.

LOL how much you wanna pay to rescue it?

LOL how much you wanna pay to rescue it?

All of the money in my wallet... $45. I can also give you some gum.

Ha it has more scrap value than that. And a video that will probably bring a tear to your eye

Well, send me the little parts then. I'm sure I can find a new home for them...

What parts do you want and how much do you wanna pay?

 

[Austin]

What parts do you want and how much do you wanna pay?

Just fill up one of them boxes... I'll pay for shipping.

And how much do you wanna pay for parts? It's not my truck. A friend is just gonna let me test out a backhoe on his Superduty

 

[Austin]

And how much do you wanna pay for parts?

You mean I have to pay for that too?!

 

[73F100Shortbed]

You mean I have to pay for that too?!

Umm yeah ..........................

 

[Austin]

Umm yeah ..........................

Gosh. Crush it.

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Gosh. Crush it.

Ok sounds good. Can't give something away for free when it's not even mine to begin with. And I don't think people really should expect everything for free either.

Agreed! (Never hurts to ask, though)

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Actually it's kind of inappropriate to ask for stuff for free.

I don't post here much, but it seems kinda sad that you couldn't work out a deal with Austin for some parts and/or the whole truck. Good Luck on getting a high price on scrap after you are done. I just did one and grand total was $160 dollars. You couldn't even help a man out that was gonna pay shipping for some small parts. Maybe you could have talked to your friend, I'm sure he would have been happy selling some stuff off the truck. Oh well, enjoy destroying a good truck that could have still been used for parts so you can make a video. Just my opinion.

Uh well Austin never made an offer on the front clip or any other parts for that matter. Just told me to package up all the small parts to send to him. Wow big deal he was going to pay the shipping. What about my time to remove the parts or anything like that? I also told my friend that someone was going to buy the clip and my friend told me that we would even deliver it to Georgia for him if the price was right. Austin never made any effort to contact me about the clip after he first posted this thread. I don't sit and wait for people to make up their minds on what they want to do. Because someone offers to pay shipping I'm supposed to just help people out? I sent him an air cleaner for free before and he didn't even offer to pay for the shipping. Some times people should just keep their opinions to themselves...especially when you don't know the whole story.

Mr. Cobra: Sean has already covered several points that I will reiterate.

As stated, Sean sent me (for free) an air cleaner housing. I received it, used it, enjoyed it. I throughly thanked him for it and went on with my life. No, I did not offer to pay for it, nor shipping.

Fast forward to this thread. I wanted to know what was possible/impossible about doing 'the swap'. I learned some and Sean brought up his truck. Had I been interested in making a transaction, I would have sent him a private message. That message would include what I'd pay, etc. (Taking a truck apart isn't easy. I wouldn't expect him to do this for free) I also wouldn't expect him to be active with contacting me to make a sale; if I wanted it, I would have continued talking to him about it.

Oh, crushing the truck = less trucks out there = better values down the road for me.


Sean: Thanks for the air cleaner, you have a PM.
