Not in the market for a 200, but is this a good deal?

Selling a truck for $19,500 that "does not run right now." and only "Needs a new battery and front seals but if you know this motor not that big of a deal. Thus why Im not asking lots more for this. If it had a battery it would crank right up."

Just buy a $200 battery and ask lots more. Or admit your truck has problems?
Not mine btw

not even that much. most truck shops sell group 31s for $80-$90 exchange

and there's not a "timing" seal on a 4bt. there's a front main seal and the front gear cover gasket

So basically what your saying is, he knows what he has and its not looking good.

Pedestal mount, very heavy duty. Probably 1/2” plate. Bearing is extremely smooth.

It’s my brothers, but thought someone here could possibly use a mount like this maybe.

Just curious- what did he use it for?

Don't see many pigs for sale anymore, makes me miss my 73. Craigslist, non-running for $2k, has a 2f, tires, and transmission available separately.

That would be awesome if you're not in metro Denver. I can't tell you the headaches I've gone through with the vortec swap on my 62, Colorado Air Care does not want to keep our old rigs on the road, even if they are cleaner. I couldn't give my fj55 away back in 2001--no rust, ran well, and a working rear window too! I think I sold it for like $1,100 after 6 months in the thrifty nickel. Man, I'm getting old. Maybe it was the sacrilegious paint job...

I'm pretty sure this is old enough to not need smog testing. My 1970 FJ40 had a 350 swap when I bought it from out of state 4 years ago and I had classic plates. I also live in Broomfield where we have the same rules as Denver and Boulder for smog testing. It's all about the year of the rig and this my friend would be exempt.

My understanding is 1975 and older qualify for the classic plates without emissions or inspection. In 1976, unleaded fuel was mandated for all vehicles, and require testing from 1976 and newer...
