If you have money to fix any problems then maybe. Something smells funny though, dunno what it is. Oh wait, the dog just farted, J/K.
Drive it and see how the Auto tranny feels. If it needs a rebuild, you will be into a whole lot more money (might as well get a built tranny at that point, depending on your planned usage).
Hey guys, it mentions ball joints, is that the total front end rebuild I here of? Luckily I bought my truck from a very trusting friend and the front end had just been rebuilt.
My truck is the same deal except for the auto tranny (thank god).
Mine cost me much more than 4500 but I know its history and it has much less miles on the clock. Good luck and happy hunting

For the poster- I would check it out good. As for the flywheel I would have a pre purchase inspection done by a good mechanic. In under an hour you could know for sure if the flexplate is bad or if it just needs a starter. Shoot with a 3/8th wrench and a large screw driver you could check in the parking lot.
