talked to the guy its been sitting for 8 months and i have a buddy that has a built auto tranny that has 150,000 miles on it and is rebuilt and sitting in the shop i can get for 1 grand. :s: good deal??

sounds like a good deal, hows the body/ interior

Looks workable, with some love and wrenching. For $3000 you can't mess up too bad.

Captain:Interior is good, just has the normal little rips in the seat, I will most likely be gettin a seat cover if i get it. But the pass side fender is a little crinkled. It somes with a new fender though.
Dezzrats:Yep! Thats what i was thinkin. :choochoo:

id buy it for that price,its hard to find a good 12valve now

noticed it didn't have batteries??? and id go to at least 2500 its gonna take work to get the trans. in not to mention prevent death wobble.

RedRocket: Huh, i actually didn't. Why is it going to take at least 2500? Other than the tranny the fenders messed up but i am going to leave that for a while. My father is a certified diesel mechanic whos been doin this for 30 years so it wont be to difficult to put the tranny back in. As for death wobble how do you know it will have it?

Do it... 3000$ is nothing....

I dont know what you do for a livin but for me 3000 bucks is alot of money

To me that is a good price, however the price doesn't bother me as much as the condition of the truck. I personally would keep on looking. There are better deals to be had out there. Just my thoughts.:tu:
