I haven't touched my own trike build for a couple of years now Mike, but I've got no intention of selling or scrapping it. Once I've cleared a few other projects, I'll get back to it. I'd hate to get rid of it & see someone else mess it up or claim they'd built it themselves.
My humble advice- put it in storage & forget about it until you get your building mojo back.

Sell it Mike.
It`s supposed to be fun, a hobby, something that you enjoy, this isn`t the first time this has cropped up so it sounds to me like your enthusiasm for the project has gone.
You have your truck now to get on with and that`s gotta take priority for practical reasons.
Sell the trike, lift some weight off your shoulders then when things are calmer generally, get your truck done, then build another trike.

so if you brake it and sell the parts what you going to get for them. axle on ebay for £200+ aren't selling they keep re listing. so what you got is
axle £100/150
wheels £50/75
engine complete £100/150
gearbox £25/50
front end £100/150
frame £500/750
total £875/1325
sell as a project £1500/£2000
if your lucky cash is tight out there and people aren't spending unless its a real bargin
i would just well wrap up .until you get yourself sorted Mike.get the house sold and your own place.
then see how you feel
