I would watch junk yards, im currently looking for one as well. Ive found a couple, but theyre missing odds and ends, high miles, or just dont look very good, seems like theyre 400-600 around here.

Call all the salvage yards.. Or look on craigslist to find a truck you can take the motor out of and either keep it for your parts or resale it as a roller or with your motor in it

What problems does your motor have?

rebuilding a 94 and up motor is very common. See?

Not knowing What motor you have is the factor here. But rebuilding would be best off in my mind. Whats to say the used motor you put in your truck is going to be any better? If you have the money rebuild her and maybe resleave the engine and go for another 400,000 miles
