Just wanted everyone’s opinion on how much I could sell the whole front suspension, control arms, rotors with brand new bearings, calipers, and front cross member off my c20 for. It’s the whole thing from the frame down and is in pretty good shape.
Any and all suggestions welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Nothing until you find someone who needs some largely uncommon parts imo.
What you’re selling would be commonly used to fix a wrecked truck.
Not a lot of 80s C20s getting wrecked these days.
And difficult to ship so local only or someone who REALLY needs them.
Value? Idk.

I agree with Grit. I listed the stock C10 suspension with brakes for $50 for 2 weeks, $25 for 2 weeks, free for a month and never got a hit. Went to scrap. Did the same thing a few months ago for our S10 build and again it went for scrap. I listed on both CL and offer up and offer up you can see that a lot looked but nobody called on either.

I sold the whole front frame section (cut I front of front cab mounts, complete minus steering box) from an 85 C10 about 5 years ago for $150.

Sold it to some guys that were going to put the setup under a 60s Chevy pickup, as it’s a nearly bolt in upgrade to give 5 lug and disc brakes. If I recall correctly, only had it listed for a couple of days before selling.

You may find your buyer as someone with an older C20 looking to go to disc brakes on the cheap.

I'd agree with these guys. I've seen a few complete front suspensions with crossmember/brakes and all here and there listed for $100-200 that stayed up for several weeks. Not a ton of demand for that outside of '60-70 guys wanting disc brakes

I was hoping to get some extra money for the project by selling it but it sounds like it’s not even worth it to list it for sale.

I wouldn't bother saving any of it. Lots of donors out there still and virtually no market.

I'd still list it as opposed to scrapping it right away. Just know it has very little value unless someone needs it right then and there.

That’s what I’m thinking. I’ll list it and see what happens. You just never know what someone might need and may be willing to pay whatever they have to for it.

Just when you scrap it someone will want it. Put up ads in a lot of different places and let it ride for 6-12 months, someone out there wants it and is looking for it. You just have to get the word out.
It's never failed when I try to sell vehicles no one's interested. When I finally get rid of it then I have several people interested.
If you have a dry place to store it, I'd hang on to it. It may be good trading stock too.
