Default How was it steered....?

From the only picture showing the engine it certainly looks like the valve cover of a 216...... Have you checked to see if it has the side valve cover that reaches over and above the spark plugs.....

Things to salvage fast and easy...... axles shafts...... gear clusters from each axle..... nose, windshield, doors. fenders???......the one fuel tank and its brackets.

With more time and effort..... check the radiator even if you can only salvage the top and bottom tank of the rad..... see if the original throttle linkage is still there.....pull the engine and tranny and T case if present

Both egg cups ( steering ends ) of the front axle can be just unbolted or take the whole front and rear axle......

Much depends on whether they will let you leave behind a mast of steel that cannot be roller around for scrapping....... heck even the fabricated wheels can be used as spare tires on other yard trucks. We always try to leave at least two tires that will hold air on the many parts trucks we have..... it greatly facilitates moving them to a rest/parking area and makes it easy to bring them back to the barn if we need to use air powered tools or hot wrenches...... then back to the field for storage. I use an old Massey F tractor using the 3 point hitch as the tow truck of choice...

Good luck
