Yes, they are worth pulling. Depending on how much they want for them. Myself, at a salvage yard I would not give over $75.00. MO

If you want or need them, pull them. If you plan on reselling them, figure in your time, gas, storage space, how soon you want them gone. Personally, time is money, and I need my garage space (more like my wife needs my garage space). So if I don't plan using larger items, I just leave them unless I know I could net $100 or more in a quick turnaround and depending on how difficult it is to pull. Or I'll pull things I think friends may want or need while I'm at a wrecking yard if time permits. But, I do know how it feels when surrounded by lots of trucks at picknpull. Almost the excitement of an auction,

, and it feels like my day is wasted without coming home with something, after driving an hour each way. I know while going through what I have in storage and in the garage in the next couple of weeks that I'll find stuff I don't remember pulling

. I've pulled lots of smaller stuff I couldn't give away and threw them out. Pulled stuff because they were interesting at the time.

I am impatient at times and end up selling stuff at a loss when I want things gone. I figured after parting out one truck last year that if I want to make money, it's easier to sign up fo overtime at work than to stick around at home with a pile of parts waiting for flakes. Sometimes it's easier to haul a truckload to the dumps than wait around for responses, people to show up or call back and deal with packaging and shipping for a few bucks profit. But...to each his own.

Is this a personal or company vehicle? Where do you gas up? What's the cost of fuel compared to gasoline?
