03 Cummins for $500?

Good evening all,
I have the opportunity to buy a 2003 Dodge Cummins 4 door, 4x4, long bed, manual with close to 200k on it. The engine seized up on it and it has sat for about a year. Guy selling it said would let it go for $500. Not sure if it's a standard or high output. I didn't see anything on the drive side of the valve cover and forgot to check the VIN or to see if it was a 5spd or 6spd manual. Just checking opinions on if this is worth it to spend $500 on the truck then find the right guys to put an engine in it and get it up and running, or let it pass. Body is in good condition and I'm not sure about the transmission, suspension or brakes. I know this question truly depends on if I'm willing to drop some cash or not and I'm sitting on the fence so I'd be curious to see if others had this opportunity what they would do. Thank you for your time.

LONG GONE, I am sure..
When you see a deal like that you don't have time to ask for advise and get back to the seller in a few days.
If you want it you pay the man on the spot.

Hey guys,
Thought I responded to all the threads I posted on and must of forgot this one. I got the truck, have had it for a couple weeks. Make it even better is I got it for $200, yup you read that right. The guy selling it said if I want what he thinks is a headache to rebuild or put in a new engine then he doesn't want my money going to him so he knocked $300 off. Said $200 will buy the hunting rifle he wants for his daughter. So now the work begins!
