Got any pics of it? If the body is straight and no rust holes anywhere, you could swap the trans out and put in a new steering gear box and have a really solid foundation for a bad ass mudder. Or turn around and sell it and make money off the deal

I thought they had switched to the throttle body by '89? And I doubt the steering boxes would be the same

Either way if he's selling the tranny with it for 300 bucks and the body is solid and not that rough, go for it!

I think it'd be an awesome project truck as a mudder or off road vehicle!
