You could get your money back plus some if you parted out #2. Talk him down to about $1600 and you got it made. Just look at ebay, complete turbo kits in good condition will go for $1000 plus, and the same for the gear vendors. Then you could get a good $300 out of the motor. Then just take the rest in for scrape. You would more than likely turn a good profit on it.
But after reading again, it looks like your looking for a parts truck, so I would say #3 in that case.

im not looking for a parts truck, im looking for another truck besides my cummins, im still keeping my cummins, just need a dang truck to go get the cummins LOL, i just want a ford with a mechanical 7.3 cause i like them. if i can get a shop built before too long i might "invest" in the 1st and 2nd trucks after i buy the third and try and make them right and turn a profit as a whole truck, or possibly just part them. im gonna go look at the 1st truck and again and see if there is coolant in the oil of if its a external gasket leak or what, could just be a horribly clogged radiator.
