When parting out an M1009...

When parting out an M1009 what parts are worth the most. I have a limited time to do this and need to know what parts are the mot marketable. Any advice is welcome. thanks

I would think engine, front axle, transmission, transfer case, rear axle, in that order, providing all is good. The rest of the small stuff will add up, but those should be the big ticket items.

Mik...I think your truck is too good to part out!! Do you have it listed in the classified section here?

Heck...its gotta be worth a few K to someone on here??

I know you have time issues but gosh!!

PB, It's listed in the classifieds. But between the Timing cover leak and the charging issue, it doesn't look to good. I will hope for the best but plan for the worst.

is the shell in good shape? to us in michigan that and the frame are worth the most. you can have the drivetrain. i would travel for a good shell and frame for the right price.

I would love to have someone fix it as opposed to me scaping it. I don't have much time left here and having it hauled with my duece to Vegas is just nat an option. (this will actually be paying for a good portion of that)

Thanks, Mik
