    On a side note our family had a Chrysler dealership in a small town many years ago. My father kept a stack of old car registrations he found when they sold the building. He sold them for big money a few years ago as they can be used to register old cars. I don’t know why they kept those registrations but it worked out for my father.

    Free listing on ebay ($0.15 for extra picture). If it sells it will cost $60.

    Anything I should change or add?

    I would advise anyone in your situation to watch this educational you tube video. Wrong brand but very educational......... In such critical decision making.

    My advice....find the Facebook page for this kind of truck, and advertise it there. You'll be dealing with people you automatically have a interest in that vehicle. Finding the right audience is half your battle :)

    I second that. Sometimes the parts make a great lawn or shop ornamentation purpose. The box can have legs welded on for a planter box? Possibilities endless. I know someone used to use theirs as a beverage cooler during parties. They cut part of it out and left the tailgate on and welded it. Half the size but shoot could hold over 10 bags of ice and any libations.

    My experience has been if at first you don't succeed, try try again...sometimes I list stuff and nothing happens...do it again and BAM, people all over it...and it only takes one serious person for it to be gone.
    Like my buddy that owns a car lot says...there's a butt for every seat!
