$800 Dollar '76 4x4, go for it?

[Destructo]

Yeah, its half-ton. I don't think the motor is any good, and it really is from a corvette, atleast the cylinder heads are, casting 041. But I have a feeling the valve have met the pistons at some point in time and thats why it bent the pushrods, possibly because of worn out timing chain and gear jumping teeth.

Like I said though the only good parts on it really are some interior peices which aren't even a good color and two front fenders, the cab was already leaning to one side because the mounts are rusted out so badly. I would not ever buy a truck like that to drive, was considering parting it out, but I don't think the drivetrain is worth it. TH350 is worth 200 bucks at most, bad 350 worth about 150 and 203 about 100 and axles 200 is my guess. I would probably be pushing it just to get 800 bucks back out of it by parting it out.

So I think I should let it go also and let the owner put a new pushrod in it and TRY to get rid of it for 1400 bucks. Its barely worth 800 bucks with a bad motor.
