Bite the bullet, get a catalytic converter. The use of a vehicle on public roads without a catalytic converter is illegal. It is a violation of federal law to gut a catalytic converter. And it's environmentally irressponsible to run a vehicle without one.

I know that it isnt the the thing to do but I dont want to shell out $425 for a converter at this point. This summer I am going to be putting a 302 V8 into it so if I can get buy till then it would really help.

Somebody's ripping you off if they want you to pay $425 for a new cat. Or you're at a dealership. And, no matter what engine you use, you'll be able to use the same cat (though you may need to have a different size inlet or outlet if you change the size of your exhaust - but you'd still be able to use the same core).
You can get a high-flow cat with either 2-1/2" pipe or 3" pipe from Road Race Engineering

I need a new one because I think that it is getting plugged up. I am not getting as good gas milage and have noticed it leaking around the converter. I have been to auto zone and checked it for codes and it showed everything being OK. I baby this truck on maintinance, Amsoil, bosch, and all the good stuff to keep it running like new. It has 113,000 miles on it so i am sure that it is due for one. Michigan does not test so it should be OK if I gutt it.

I am willing to bet that your 98 is plugged also. That is why your frount exhuast dougnut is going bad. It just has to much back presure. I just hope this gutting wont mess up my O2.

Definately get an aftermarket high flow cat......you can use it later with the swap as well.
Your emissions will not be very good at all without it.
