Parting out a 6.9

#1164 is currently under the knife. I'm saving what's obvious - engine, transmission, what's left of the suspension, differential & half-shafts, hubs, etc.

The car lived most of its life in Arizona, USA, so the interior bits and pieces are mostly toast.

Anything in particular I should attempt to save from the cabin, particularly up inside the dash? I already own a running '76, and the car being parted is also a '76, so I could possibly be my own best customer.

Also - anyone that needs parts from a relatively straight and rust-free 6.9 should ring in with their requests.

All hydro suspension parts are gone, except for lines and worn-out accumulators - the previous-previous owner helped with that  >:( I'm saving the lines...

would you mind selling me the fuel line (between the tank and the pre-pump filter)?

The discharge line from the tank goes to the suction damper.  And I really think you should get a new one (sorry brian, not trying to do you out of potential business).  These hoses don't last well, and are not expensive new at the main dealer.
