Re: Is It Worth It? (PICS)

It depends. Do you have a spare engine, transmission and transfer case? If yes, then you can put together a pretty nice truck at a fair price. If your going to have to buy all that then you will probably spend more on putting this one together than buying a running driving truck. Think it through.

Re: Is It Worth It? (PICS)

Really depends on how much you want to pay and what you're going to use it for. as stated above that's not a bad price if you have engine, trans and transfer case otherwise its going to add up quick. Prices in Oklahoma really are not any different then in Texass and if its really clean 1500 would probably be the max, but between 500 to 1000k is where id try to be at.
When buying it pays to be patient theirs deals to be had out there on these trucks. Good Luck

Re: Is It Worth It? (PICS)

Thanks guys for all the feedback!! I went to see it, does have a "later" (carb) 350 and trans in it, says it only needs to be hooked up....owner does not know if it runs. The truck is is very straight and rust free, I backed away!! If it had not been JACKED with trying to convert over to a carb engine (wiring was a mess), and all I needed to do was drop in another engine and trans....I would of pay $1500 for it all day!! Thanks again!!
