Truck "died"

Oct 23, 2003 4 Replies

My truck, 1990 F150 4WD 100,000 miles has died. The rear axle blew up for lack of a better word. It doesn't move anymore unless in 4WD. The frame is bent/rusted in one small area.



It may be able to be fixed if I can get a used rear axle, find someone to weld the frame, etc. but what I want to know is this:



If we can't fix it and want to sell it for parts what parts are most people interested in? And what should I expect to get out of these parts?



The engine purrs like a kitten. Runs great, oil changed every 3,000 miles. Leaks a little oil. Body is not that great. Wheels are nice.



How much for the engine? OR much as is for the whole thing?



Any help would be great. Thanks



Steve


I forgot to mention, the engine is a 6 cyl. 4.9L. gas.

Upstate NY, near Ithaca. 4 speed with granny gear I guess is what you'd call it.

I'm going to say it's worth $1000. The engine, tranny and transfer case will be popular items for several hundred dollars each but you might find somebody interested in some of the body parts also.
