From what I understand, when you donate a car to charity you get to claim the full value on your taxes.
I had an old Honda Accord when I was in college and when the transmission finally failed (among other things) I decided to scap it. A local junk yard told me I could get $150 for the car if I dropped it off or $100 if they came to pick it up. I told them to pick it up.
It probably is worth something as trade-in. Local dealers around here will sometimes have a "push, pull or drag it in" sale and give you a couple grand for anything (of course all the cars on the lot are marked up a couple grand). Parted out your truck is worth quite a bit, so a dealer should have no problem getting their money out of it.
