Found this truck a couple days ago and set up a test drive for tomorrow. What do you guys think? A bit too much $? Should i stay away because of the converted engine?

Thanks.

 

I'm not familiar with emission laws in Georgia regarding the swap but from a mechanical perspective the 22R is a fine setup. How many miles are on the truck ?
My suggestion would be drive it cold and drive it at operating temp. Listen real good to the trans and diffs. Run in in 4 wheel and listen to the transfer case. Even though the engine is rebuilt the rest of the drivetrain could be all original.

 

I think this guy posted up on this site, let me see if i can find the link.

 

kinda of pricey...but the body looks to be in good shape. Good luck...i'd try to talk him down to 4300
