Definitely don't let the insurance company have it. The worst case scenario here is that someone will get a great starting place for a dedicated drag truck.

If you dont mind, what were you offered? If you dont want to say, i get it.
FYI: You can challange their price/ dollar amount
Ug. Wish I had the space for it. I'd love to talk about a few things if you decide to part it.
Same, if I had the space I’d snap it up
ASAP
Fore!
I’m about to post it up. I have on Facebook already but figured I’d give everybody here a shot at it.
Come get it somebody. I hate to part it out.

Ok, I’ll let you know if it doesn’t sell complete. I have shelves full of all original parts, and lot of other stuff too that I’ll be posting up separately.

Snap it up guys! I can’t think of a better home for it to go to. And Ray, your going to want one you can actually drive when you get done with your “race truck”

Update: insurance totaled it as expected. Only $1500 for me to keep as a buyer retained salvage so definitely was worth it. I’m starting to remove and sell things slowly. Long bars, alternator, efans are sold. Copperhead driveshaft loop, bed cover, headers are spoken for. V3 kit has been posted up for sale. Still have a lot of parts in the whole truck if someone is interested. Otherwise will regrettably continue to part it out until I get to the point it sells as a roller or goes to the junkyard.
Message me with any pics, videos, questions.

Interior- Seats /jump seat in great shape(lumbar on drivers side not working) fog light switch in good condition. White faced gauges with LED’s seem to be fine. Worked when on fire when I shut it off and unhooked battery. 14point7 AFR, Autometer water temp, oil pressure and boost pressure gauges worked when shutoff. Bronco Graveyard dash repair bracket installed. Headliner, visors, windshield, dash and harness will need to be replaced.

Truck is sold and headed out to its new home yesterday. The guy that bought it has all the interior from a donor truck and plans to fix it which is a great thing!
Have a few more parts to sell leftover from my stash but most of that is all gone as well. Hard to believe the money I had invested in this truck and my parts stash over the years! My wife couldn’t believe it either..lol
The replacement has arrived!
