83 K-10 with newer 35's? Should I buy it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking for a good beater truck for winter and runs to get mulch or Lowes. There is a local guy with an 83 K-10, bad 305, 700R tranny (said to be good), NP208 TC, 4 inch skyjacker lift with 35" Mud Kings (great tread), and factory rallies. Truck "should" only need new engine.... it passed inspection last Jan so it should be fairly sound.... It does have average rust but not bad and it's greasy underneath... I figure the tires and rims are worth $400 so you can't go wrong...

$400 with title?

The wife rolled her eyes and doesn't want the yard turning into a junkyard....

Thoughts...
