Hi crenwedge:
WOW, thank you for your input. I did go look at the truck. We could not start it, battery to low. The owner knows nothing about the truck. He got it cheep & it has all six new tires & a real nice 14" flat bed. All which he can use. So after looking at it but not able to start it, I left, leaving him with the thought that if the price was right, he could keep the tires/wheels & bed & anything else I would not use. I was thinking If I had a complete chassis with running gear, even if I rebuilt the motor,I might be ahead if I only paid $500 or less. But the truck has over 250,000 miles on it & it may be more than I want to deal with? I also went to look at it because I thought it would be a tilt cab. My project needs a tilt cab setup. I thought this Isuzu would have that to. So no tilt cab & everything will need be rebuilt, I think I'm with you. It may not be worth the trouble. Thanks again for your input...
