Yes, it was worth it. Like timg said, it would be really hard for me to ever lose money on it considering scrap value and all the modifications like the wheels, hood, and bed cover which I would keep or sell if I scrapped the truck, amongst other things.

Scrap prices have been in the toilet for the last several years, nation wide.

I watch prices monthly, as I have a butt load of scrap iron, here at my place. But I won't haul it just to break even on transport cost.

That truck would pay $500-550 here right now at current scrap prices.

Do the math....

Plus I’ve got custom wheels, a very heavy duty bed cover, an aftermarket hood, etc… all of which are worth good money. Also, scrap prices must be a bit lower where you are.

None of that aftermarket stuff, would equal enough money on the open market.

I've been at the buy & sell, game a long time.

Right now, the custom wheels and really good tires, bed cover, and hood alone are worth the $900. Have you seen the prices of new tires and custom wheels. Scrap value with bad tires in the future plus selling the wheels, hood, and bed cover, I bet I could get all my money back.
Did you just eat ice cream?
I do prefer ice cream.
