: Should I buy this truck? Blown engine

The truck is a 94 GMC 3500 two wheel drive dually and has a bad 6.2 in it. It is advertised for $800 like it sits. I can get a good engine for around $1200 including the fuel it will take me to go get it. A friend of mine who is a body man owes me some money so he will paint it for me. I think I can get the correct bumper pretty cheap. All in all I think I can make this a nice truck all for under $2000. I have no money to spend right now, but I might be able to trade some stuff off. What would a truck like this with a good running engine and good paint job sell for? I am wondering if it will be a good deal by the time I am done working and spending on it. Oh, and the interior looks good. I could not get better photographs because it was locked. I will be meeting with the owner soon and can provide interior and engine bay pictures then.

Unless there was some swapping, that truck's older than 94. In 94, the 6.5 was the only Diesel option, and the grille also changed in 94. Should be able to bring some decent money for the age if you can get it fixed up real nice.

I am not interested in flipping it. I just want to make sure I cannot buy a truck already done for what I will spend on this. I really need to find out what year it is.
