    Sorry, it's dead like a Star Trek red shirt.
    Repair cost vs value isn't really in your favor. As it sits, I'd park it and call it done for safety reasons.

    Start a part out! Make some cash for now and keep your eyes out for new wheels. It is unsafe to drive this as-is.

    There is still a good market for parts. Where is this vehicle located?

    I will purchase the truck whole though if your wanting it gone fast. You will be able to make much more out of a part out though. If I bought it it would be a frame swap and sell deal. Just being honest

    On the other hand, if you have some space, and want a hobby, start tearing her down…

    after you junk the real junk, you’ll be able to figure out what, if anything, is left to build back up.

    If there ain’t much, part what’s left, or…

    when you get to the bare frame, repair or replace it and start putting it back together.

    Would be a good ‘family’ project.

    Will take awhile, but you might have a neat ‘frame up’ rebuild if you see it through.

    Just a thought…

    Sure. Same as in Ohio. ODOT loves their brine! But I would have a better frame and be able to protect it.
    I've thought about it, but I don't have that kind of money.
