you ever notice individual parts when sold separately are expensive as hell, but when they are all bolted together and in the shape of a truck they ain't worth sh!t.

No different for modern vehicles either. Can't buy all the parts for a 2016 vehicle unassembled for less than the whole vehicle from the dealer.
You're also disregarding the significant time to disassemble a truck, stockpile the parts, dispose of the junk, pack and ship the parts, the cost to BUY THE DAMN TRUCK TO START WITH and haul it home. Then wait 10 or more yrs to MAYBE find a buyer. That's why I'll soon be hauling 30+ rust free doors and 15+ rust free hoods to the scrapyard.
I have been doing the same junkyard thing,for the last 3 years off and on. Cost of storing, hassle, shipping etc. I am down to just a few keepers to offer for sale and retire with only one ongoing project truck.
However, I do love my one keeper project truck Gordo
