    Question Should I buy this truck?

    So I've been looking at 1st gen Cummins trucks for a while now for a *gasp* donor to a '59 Ford body.

    I came across a '92 W250, with a swapped in NV4500/NP205.

    The rear axle was replaced with a DRW Dana 80. The stock 60 front has an Artec high steer and a new VE pump on the motor. Decent looking flat bed and wench bumper, but it needs a front driveshaft and possibly gears in one axle or the other. Also it needs the heater core and ac fixed, as well as the speedo so I can drive it while I save up money.

    250k on the clock and its everything I've wanted mechanically, but the asking price is $5500.

    What say ye?

    It's hard to answer since we can not see it, physically check it out and such. But generally what I go by is after looking her over real good, driving it ... what does it say deep down in your gut feeling ... has been the best method for me. No very scientific ...
