Re: I'd buy that for a nickel-how bout U

I mainly bought it for the tailgate, rear end, and the front grill and bumper

the black sunvisor, door panels, radio, dash pad, and the tires- three of which couldn't have more that 100 miles on em/ was pretty much a big bonus

Re: I'd buy that for a nickel-how bout U

The lifter is probably floating around in the block. I'm surprised you had any oil pressure!

Re: I'd buy that for a nickel-how bout U

I was thinking the lifter must be sitting in the lifter valley. There wouldnt be a bent pushrod if there wasn't a push rod there some time!
Looks like a great score!!! congratulations!!
