Worth messing with?

[kwmech]

Got a call about a 1990 4x4 flatbed for sale. 1 ton, 454, auto. Find out it is a light duty 1 ton (8600lb gross). Converted to dually with spacers. Has a tilt bed. 195k on the speedo, will not pass the smog nazi inspection. Couple of low compression cylinders. Needs interior work, pretty much trashed being a contractors truck. Trans was supposedly rebuilt about 2 years ago (T400). Engine partially apart, but not too far. I can get to my house for 600 including towing. I'm on the fence on this one............worth it? Thinking about maybe parting it
