Need a Spot
I have been lurking for a while but now have the opportunity to buy a 89 monty for $400. Not currently running and engine is out on a stand. Price includes a re-ring kit complete with bearings(rod and mains) as well as a complete gasket kit. Truck has 165K a few dents and dings but overall body and frame are in really good shape. Am I getting taken on this or is this a pretty good deal? Any help appreciated!

Body Damage is Cool
$400 is not a bad price, With the parts to fix it included. The re-ring kit with bearings is worth $200 alone.

What motor and trans does it have?


Well on my way to becoming that eccentric old man in every town.(crazy as a s#@thouse rat) With a yard full of desireable old vehicles that tells you, Sorry they're not for sale..... Someday I'm going to fix them.

It's worth that in scrap metal. The issue is do you have the resources to get it running?
