two trucks 100$.... Is this a good deal?

A guy left his two toyota trucks sitting at the shop for I'd say 4 years. They are early 80's model. both have the 20r and standard 4x4. We'll call the trucks blue and yellow. Blue has set up for no telling how long and has considerable rust especially in the bed area. The motor was supposedly shot. Now yellow was totaled about 4 years ago but was a great running truck. Yellow has no rear-end and the passenger side is crushed from behind front tire to mid bed. Yellow was stored in a building since about a week after the wreck. Could yellow have set up too long and ruined the motor. I don't know alot about the 20r. I have a 86 4runner 22re that I just rebuilt the motor in along with the trany and the whole front end. what parts could interchange from the older style to my 86? But anyway I was planning on making a good toy truck out of the rust bucket (blue). Any opinions??

buy them. if worse comes to worse, you can sell a good 20R head for $100.

I figure i will. i know i can get more than 100$ out of just scraping the trucks and i could possibly have another play truck. i have another quick question. can i swap an axle out of the old ones into my 86 if the ratio is the same?

$100 for both trucks, you really can't go wrong.

I do belive the widths will be different.

i wonder about the thirds?
I seem to remember that the ifs ones are better. I want to say strength wise. maybe someone can confirm/disprove?
