The desicion to purchase was all on me (obviously). I was not in the market to buy a rust free barn find. As for cost, I don’t believe I mentioned anything about what I paid. I can fully appreciate what it is you do for other, I personally wasn’t overly concerned about this truck and what I got myself into. I was simply looking for knowledge on what motor I have in the truck and to learn more about it from people who know more about these trucks than I. The truck isn’t perfect but I knew that going into it. Its “My” project to play with. I thank you for your input on my question to the group.
