This truck cab looks like scrap to me, but the seller wants 5.5K.

Is it really worth anything other than scrap?

Wouldn't say so imo, given how stripped and damaged it is.

I'm no expert but you get all the interior and all the electrical components from the inside.

The doors and the front would probably go straight back on so only the roof skin needs to be beaten out, and I imagine someone with the right skills could do that at fairly minimal cost.

Once fixed, that cab could put an even more severely damaged truck back on the road, which would be worth several tens of thousands. Depending on the labour effort, I can see where there might be £5k of value there.
