was talking to a guy at work and he says that a buddy of his has a 91 isuzu pickup that hes sellin or tryin to get rid of.

they want 200bux for it. it runs fine, and has a 5 speed, but the rearend howls like a banshee, and it has some body damage. its also a longbed.

im thinkin about buyin it for parts. im assuming since its a 91 it has the 2.3? and it has a 5 speed in it. i think the motor and tranny are worth 200 bux. hell the tranny alone is worth 200 bux! if i get it, id put the 5 speed in the pup with the rebuilt motor, and put the 2.3 in the luv maybe? should just bolt up.

what else off this truck could i use for my others? tell me what ya think.

If the body isn't too bad you may just want to slap a new rear end in it and drive it as is

May I suggest that you invest in a quality seat cover? :lol:

Oh and another idea popped in my head..power steering :twisted:

Buy it, put a different rear in it, and sell it at a profit.

well the only reason for buying this truck would be to get the the 5 speed out if it. ill pay 200 bux for a tranny with a truck attached to it. then ill have another engine that i could use for something else.
