Should I ?
« on: December 12, 2009, 11:46:59 am »
Buddy of mine in college station TX. picked up this sweet one owner 77 longbed with a bad engine but otherwise clean, He had another engine ready for it but doesn't think its worth the money to fix it So he's got it up for sale. I'm thinking about flying down one week and installing a engine and driving it back to VA. Anyone think it would be a bad deal?
