Now he said that his drive shaft blew and it needs a new tranny, would it be an easy fix for it? or worse comes to worse i could just swap in the engine from my scottsdale? your input is greatly apprecaited

Oops... Too late! This listing was so awesome that it's already gone. Check out othe

Tough luck - and it doesn't matter now but the transmission was probably just a stock TH400 and you could have just lifted it in. The driveshaft would have been a straight exchange as well.

What about this one:

1986 chevy 1500 4x4. It has a newly rebuilt 350 (pretty much everything under the hood is new, $5600 last year) It has a 700r4 transmission but the reverse is shot. Has new 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust with glass packs (it has a nice rumble to it). 33" tires also have a spare on a rim. Headache rack.

$2900 obo

Was going to flip the truck and put a new transmission and body on but i do not have the time or cash.


Jerry talking now: Looks pretty sweet (as in the steel still appears to be in good shape) and the price is right.

The 700r4 is shot but you were looking at a swap anyway.

And if you are not a fan of those billet crap grills I have a complete front end for sale cheap. All OEM and all perfect - $150 for you (cause you just had a tough break):
