I posted earlier about helping a friend's son restore a '67. I found an '87 SWB for a donor truck for PDB, PS, etc. It's a V6 truck, but the motor is bad and sitting in the bed, and it comes with a 5.7 TBI and auto tranny from an early 90's Caprice police car. The cab and bed appear to be straight and in good condition, but it has been repainted so there's no way to tell what's underneath the paint. The grill is good, as is the tailgate, bumpers, etc. It has some decent looking 15x8 Enkei aluminum wheels similar in style to the one below. The hard lines have been removed from the PS gearbox with nothing to keep the rain out, and the truck has been sitting with the hood off for a couple years. Is the gearbox likely to be ruined?
The asking price is $1000 but I might be able to get it for a hundred or so less. Will this truck have enough salvage value after I rob the steering and suspension parts to make it worth buying?
