I'd say its time to get rid of that one, Dave. Don't put another penny into it. Take the few hundred the scrap yard will give you for it and save it toward any repairs your other truck may need at some point.

No. It's not worth swapping a motor/trans with 300k into anything unless you're going to rebuild it first, and it would be cheaper to get a lower mileage junkyard motor than to rebuild it. Don't do it.

If they are doing demolition Derbys and racing at your local fairs might get a little more than junk price from someone looking for a vehicle for that. I agree it is time to let that one go.

Sell it for parts and let someone else have some bad luck for a while.

I would get new tires, fix the exhaust , and put a rebuilt LS conversion in it and use it for my dating vehicle. chicks dig rusted out trucks.

In all seriousness if it's just tires and a loud exhaust I would put on cheap tires and get some ear pulds to wear in it from work. (Yes I have done that) An extra vehicle is nice when your primary goes down.

Junk it, Dave. It's not worth fixing. You could sell parts off of it if you want.

Put a reasonable price on the truck, describe it reasonably accurately, post it on a free advertising site, such as Craigslist and see if it sells. You'll likely get more for it then just junking it.

Junk it ...... or people will want the pet elephant that you don't have.

Joking aside, you are better off investing that time with fighting termites than stripping that truck down

You fight rust and rust wins. Find a solid truck in SD and put money into that rather then some rust bucket in salt country.
