I plan to just drive this truck until it finally blows the motor and then do a cummmins swap if the truck isn't too torn up. I am picturing a 2wd manual 2nd gen 12 valve with maybe a 4x4 swap if the cash is there. I hope the motor lasts at least till 350,000 before puking.

I have some bad news gents. I got a call from the owner a little while ago and he said he was about to go to the parts store to get the new starter and his wife stopped him on his way out to ask where he was going. When he told her where he was going and why, she reminded him that he had promised that truck to his son. He then remembered that and called me to tell the news. Looks like the truck search is on yet again. I am SICK and TIRED of dealing with this stuff. Back to the mines of ebay and craigslist.

I wouldent promise a truck to my son.... he can buy his own like I did... you will find one man, my buddy just bought a 97 crew cab powerstroke for 1500K 4x4 and a 5speed with around 250K. If you take care of these motors they will last a good long wile.. One closed door leads to another open door just search around youll find what you need... but I hate wives. but it was a wife that made the husband let go of the tuck I have... so I like em every now and then.. Look on autotrader too, sometimes one will pop up on there...

14 and turning 15 in just a bit. And yes, I do have my parents blessings on this. I plan to work on it for a bit until i am 16 so it will be road ready. My parents and brother will be driving it until I am old enough to my self in a few months. Looking forward to going to a few auctions soon. And for those of you wondering, yes I have been to many an auction before.
