I think it's a little over priced. Plus side is the w56 trans and fuel injection, down side is the IFS front. Frame rot can be a major concern as well.

One of the questions I gave him is regarding the frame. It would be a DD not a trail vehicle. Is that a 22RE in your truck Bill? You have the same trany as well?

x2 on the optimistic price. Not too much there beyond a stock truck with a homemade bed. That truck and some cash for your bus maybe. I guess it depends on how bad you want the bus gone too. The minitruck is easier to flip than the bus if you'd rather have cash vs. the bus.

My truck has the 22r carburated version. There are only slight differences in the head from what I understand.
The trans is concidered the strongest of the mini trucks. Tony put one of those in his mini.
If it is to be a daily driver then the IFS would be a plus, better ride quality.
If you do this trade you would have to do me the favor and move those taillights to where they are protected insted of out in the open like they are.

"w"'s are stronger than "g"'s, but the "r"'s are stronger than the "w"'s. R150f (V6 trans) and the R151f (turbo trans with a 4.31:1 first gear ratio)
