Chance to buy..

[swamp rat]

Gonna look at a truck tomorrow, its a 72 shortbed 1/2T.

Owner has clear title, he said it had an engine compartment fire so some wires are melted but the body is straight. At this point i have no idea if its a numbers matching truck at this point. it does have a spotlight on the drivers A piller. Its been sitting for quite some time. said he wants to get $1900 for it. but sounds like he's not in any hurry to sell but admits he has too many projects.

I have only seen it from the road at probably 75 yards away so until i look at it i won't know what options, engine, amount of rust ect ect, so i'm trying to get a bit of an idea what it might be worth, yea kinda vague.

Also is a big block crank bolt the same size as a smallblock? i want to take a breaker bar to see if the engine will at least turn over.

Any help appreciated..
