Selling the roof top beacon ray and nose mounted sirenlite would recoup a good portion of your investment. The rest is questionable. How many people are looking for cab replacement parts for that model IH is unknown. If it isn't running then it will be impossible to tell if the pump or motor have issues which makes it hard to sell them so most of the remaining value would be scrap metal if you feel it is to costly to restore.

Buy her.  She still runs, tires still good, probably still pumps, might need repacked.  She can definitely be fixed up.

Well I have been trying to buy this truck for two years ....thought I had it but family that owns it says it has sentimental value and wants to keep it ...so I guess it will sit in the dump where it is until it completely falls apart ....sorry all
