I just saw this on ebay. Truck is trashed, but decent engine/tranny miles(prob was never shut off, or even maintained. Just wanted to pass it on

Hmm... Might be a good candidate for a 2 stroke conversion...

That is some nasty cab rot!

Definitely an engine donor for a crew cab or Ramcharger swap.

What is a decent engine worth? I've got a lead on a wrecked truck with @ 130K. Was told it was hit in the rear pretty hard. Tranny was pulled but if you put a battery in can start up and hear run. I haven't called the guy yet but was told he wanted a thousand for truck.

The reason I ask is my 93 has 400K on it. Still runs fine but might not hurt to think ahead. Whats a decent mile engine goin for?

$1k for an engine that you can hear run is a great deal! If you have a place to store it, jump on it! You can always sell it for a profit if you don't need it.

Looks like a hurricane flood vehicle to me. Would not go near it. The tip off is the rust all over the engine compartment.
