if ya got the money i would snatch it up as long as it aint blown up cause you could sell most of the parts on that truck cause it looks pretty solid

I would guess a running bbc (even running poorly) to be worth around $500, the trans should be good for another $200-300 if it works as it should. If it isn't ate up with rust, surely it has a couple hundred bucks worth of parts on it....of course I'd show up with cash in hand and offer him $700, I'd bet you could get it for that.

yeah always show up with cash bring enough to cover it but have a freind with ya an give him a few hundred an act like you borrowing it if the guy wont budge. i had a buddy do this couple weeks ago with a fourwheeler saved himself about 100 bucks
