Weight is about 3094 lb. Roughly $400. but check with them(your yard) to see if you have to drain the fluids or punch a hole in the gas tank. That is some of the deal with certain yards. That'll be minus the fluids and tires.

You should also get a large GM converter off of it, that should bring you at least $80. Plus the battery, radiator and alternator, another $100.
You're looking at close to a $500 truck.

Okay. It's my first time scrapping a vehicle. Should i take it as is or should i break it down?

i brought lots of s-10 they weight about 2600lbs which is about $340. Cores battery, alt, compressor, starter, rad about $35. Most 80's model s-10s have small bead type converters on them which is worth about $35. And if it has aluminum rims another $60. So it would be a $400-$500 truck i would buy it.

Extended cabs weigh in round 3200, and also depends on 2wd or 4wd. And how much trash is in bed.
Metal Recycling Entrepreneur
if the trash in bed is aluminum cans, clean it out first ; )

I ended up getting the truck for $160 and I took It to the yard and It weighed 2,840 lbs and I got $380.71 for It. Not to bad.
Nice. Did you pull any goodies or haul it as is?
New Guy
I took It as Is for the most part but I did take the Radiator, some Aluminum, Insulated copper and a 14lb Electric Motor off the truck and sold that for about $12.
