SWB bad motor WIW?
ok so after seeing that my motor is bad, i would like some opinions of what it is worth- body- the rockers have been replaced, the floor patched, little rust above the windshield- hood is good- front panel is good, fenders not so good, bed pretty solid, has a couple of dents here and there but not rusty, the frame, has been converted to 5 lug, has power disk brakes, been lowered frame has been painted. the motor has a crack in the block, it has an edelbrock carb, intake, alan grove brackets, ram horn exhaust, and it has a new wiring harness- what are your thoughts???

Rust above windshield- rusted through or surface only?
If rusted through could be a problem with worth... In my area- $500-800.00 |

Re: SWB bad motor WIW?
Sorry to see that you had to sell your old truck. Hopefully it went to a good home.
