Keep them around, you can always use them to practice Welding on, or they may come in handy for some project someday.

I'd keep them just for this exact reason. You can use them to practice with rather than practice on the ones you want to use. But if you never plan on welding then there really is no reason to keep them unless you somehow break yours

I've seen a few guys weld steel plates on them and box them up, then put in urathane pushings and they actually work quite well afterwards. Same goes for the uppers. If you can weld and have the material, you could probably box them and sell them for something decent.

they may be worth something in about 40 years! ehhh....who am i kidding!!

trash them

They aren't worth anything.

50 resto has them for 64.99 a peice though....*rolls on the floor laughin and crying*

Pitch 'em!

They will just take up space, they are junk from the start, ditch'em!

i kept mine around thinking i could use them for something. they just sat in my garage collecting dust so i threw them out when i moved.

That's exactly what I've been thinking of doing. I think the bushings on my stock lowers on my notch are trashed, and I don't have the cash to blast away on a set of aftermarkets. I'm thinking of picking up a set of used stockers, having someone box-weld them, and then poking in some poly bushings to see how well that works out. As long as it at least gets rid of that popping sound I keep getting from the rear, I'll be happy, but it'd be nice to get a little better traction. 4.10's + T-5 + stock-sized tires on the street = wheelspin city. I can hardly use more than 3/4 throttle in 1st or 2nd gear on the street without roasting the tires.

I wouldn't throw them out. When it comes to Mustang parts, one man's garbage is another's gold, no matter how unlikely the demand. Feel free to drop 'em on my front porch and I'll make some use of 'em.

At the very least, boxed stockers with urathane bushings have to be way better than plain old stock with blown out 20 year old rubber bushings.
