I bought this as a parts truck to fix my '98 that I crashed last year. I finally dragged it home on the weekend. After a good look at it, I think this one is too good to cut up, and it's probably cheaper and easier to fix than my 98.I won't really get at it until the spring, as this is Canada, and my garage is full of other projects. It's a 96 SD 4.0 auto with 157,000 KM.
It's a Canadian truck so it's rusty, but it's in better shape than my '98 was when I started. The rear frame is remarkably solid, unlike my 98 where I had to replace most of it. It's also had a mild hit on the LF that was repaired very poorly, so that needs attention. The brakes are seized from sitting, but it runs well and has pretty low KM in the grand scheme of things. It also seems to leak less stuff, lol. I'll know better in the spring when I really get into it.
