just contacted a buddy i grew up with (he works at a small salvage yard) they just got a 84 x cab in with a manual tranny. so if the auto tranny is toast we have a whole donor vehicle (just need to find a new ecu).

That is how they all start out - a light 4x4 rig before you know it your bank account is empty - joking - good luck on the engine install.
