Welcome aboard. If they are 1974 or newer.. They should have converters on them. Be sure to check for those goldmines 1st. But you have one hell of a score- chances are- they will roll across the scales at over 5,000 lbs EACH. I agree with the other posters here- look for in-demand parts, put out some feelers to see if their is an interest in parts off of it, if not- no sweat! The Ladders most likely are aluminum, may also have aluminum running boards- easy removal and here sheet aluminum pays .50 cents a lb, much better than the .10 cents a lb you'll get pulling them across the scales.
Be sure to pull alternator, battery, (AC pump if you can get to it) Starter, Any wiring in the harness if you wish, also if check the carburetor-- they may be in demand for that era as well.
They just don't make vehicles now like they did then. I remember cruising the roads with my mom as a kid in her Green Pontiac Bonneville, wish I had that puppy now to roll across the scales- Solid Steel and built like a TANK!
The ADDED bonus of Vans- any weight you take off- you can PACK a van with anything else metal- so if you are hunting for
scrap metal out there- Washers, dryers, refrigerators, hot water heaters- all slide NICE into a van- Try doing that with an Escort- no dice!
