Thats not bad looking for a project. The shackles are a bit concerning. Brake lines shouldn't be too bad. I would just look at it very closely and not drive it if the shackles are in really bad condition.

Yeah I would definitely get that. You can make a lot more than 1000 in parts if it ends up not being something you want to work on anyways.

Tell him 700 w/o a test drive cause of unverifiable parts. Is the trans burnt up or shifting funny ? T-case noises ? Good locking hubs ? U-joints ? Axle shafts ? Bad calipers, wheel cylinders or drums ? Good ring an pinions ? Any vibrations ? Loose front end ? All these unverifiable parts that in NJ could run thousands to fix. I know i'm hours from a u-pull it.

SOLD!!!!!

I got rid of my car today! Finally got a truck like I've wanted for awhile. The Bronco is great but I wanted something with 4 doors and the gall to pull a trailer with either my 68 or even the Bronco if need be.

Here's a picture because i know i'd whine if someone else got a new truck and left out a picture. More to come.
