     Does your truck run, or is that what you had to stop because of the economy ?

i had a 86 trans am that the motor was run in on but before i put the motor in it was stored in a barn and the mice got to the interior and some wiring. After pricing a rear end that would hold up and interior and other stuff I made the descition to go with the truck cause i could find everything for the truck
