Totally agree! That's really the question - how to make her happy & what's the best way to dispose of the vehicle. Option 1 was never really an option (my dad used to "get rid of it" by keeping cars at friends houses - not doing that).
I'd love for a real Mopar guy to take it & put it back on the road. Otherwise, I'm pulling the drivetrain/accessories & scrapping it.
My dad had a 70's swb Tradesman that my brother still drives. My van could probably donate some parts for it.
Not sure the engine block can be saved, but I have another 5.9 block that's already been machined.
