Ive got a 57 dd.. Its already had the bulkhead hacked, no front seat, and the cargo floor is pretty well gone. The doors, glass, bellypans, brake light deck lid are all in decent shape. Its been 12v'd and has a 1500 motor. You think I could get more to part it or sell it whole??

some pics would help!!

Don't hack it if it's savable! But I agree, pics would help.

57 DD? meh, dime a dozen. go ahead and hack it :twisted:

don't chop it. someone will want it.

personally a brake light DD panel is about second on my dream bus list (behind a PGSG brake light DD sunroof 11 window deluxe :D )

None of these grow on trees anymore. DO NOT chop it!!! Any logos hiding under layers of paint? Keep it,or trade for goodies you need.Please Post pics if you can figure out how to do so.

no. you should not cut it up. no.

If the main problem is that it needs new cargo floor halves and a bulkhead, it should not be cut up. I cut up a free 1958 bus that a man gave me and it was a hassle; I wish that I had sold the whole thing. Clean it up and ask a higher price for it and see if it sells.

I will tow it away for free and save you the hassle of cutting it up.

sell it to someone that will save it. i'm saving a 58 walkthru. loads of work to get it roadworthy but i feel real good about it and will enjoy the crap out of it when it's ready to roll. the oldies are the goodies imo :)

Think about it, a pre 58 bus of any description?

It's a no Brainer!

KEEP IT or SELL

if you have a title and pics let us know. Pm if you prefer

I know that I shouldn't cut it up.. Ive got a family though so money is whats in short supply lately. Im asking whether i would get more money parting it out or does the double door carry enough weight to get me more than its parts.. I am working on getting pictures on here.. New to thesamba..

It's in too good of condition to be cut up.
