jimoshel Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you've got most of the parts you shouldn't have to sink too much more into it. Alternators can be picked up at the P&P for $10. $25 for radiators.You can get all the nuts and bolts you need just walking around and picking them up off the ground, or go to the hardware store and get new. How rusty is the body? What are your mechanical skills? Why weren't the broken bolts removed when it was rebuilt? How bad do you want it? How hard to get a title? What did you get it for in the first place? I'll give you $300 for it sight unseen if your within 200 miles of Pueblo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatroper57 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 well getting the parts near my house is just about out of the question as the junk yards around here don't keep cars and trucks much after 15 years i been told so ied be lookin at getting new parts more then likly the the driver side floor was fix but not right other then that body don't look bad as far as rust from what i see the moter was rebiult before the guy i got it from bought it he can file for a lost tile if he don't find it i got it for the front axle but then i found another axle for the same comanche my wife drives and i was goin to fix it and use it as a fire wood truck but i just don't want to spend any more money on it as far as $300 i can get that from the junk yard around here more then likly but i was thinkin it would worth more then that since ther arnt many left in the junk yards that arnt all ready striped to the bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 $1000 seems a bit steep for a truck thats torn apart. Around here a running driving 86 goes for less then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatroper57 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 well it dose say $1000.00 >>>>or best offer <<<<<< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Honestly Jims offer of $300 is more then generous. IMO 86 has to be the least valuable of all MJs and the least useful year as a parts truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 3.4l is a direct bolt in, a 4.3l is not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
