Sorry I cannot get to mud from work, but I
have an 88 GMC2500 4x4. Odometer says 51 K but I know that is wrong though
I believe it is just under 100K. The motor (350 TBI) has an oil leak at the
cooler line on the filter housing. My mechanic says it is likely a 10$
gasket. Worse case replacing the housing for about $150 while the motor is
out. Tranny is a 700R4 which the PO said was recently rebuilt. I am doing
the same swap and only need a motor which I am using out of a second 88 I
got in a package deal. I trust the PO who is a good friend of a good
friend. The motor is complete and running though I do not like to run it
since the oil leak is pretty bad. I have only driven this in my yard and
have not run for more than probably 15 minutes. I have it posted on CL for
$800 but will certainly entertain offers as I need the space. PM me or
email to pmhubby@yahoo.com. Email and I can respond soon but will not be
able to access PM until later tonight/tomorrow morning. Truck is in NH.

Thanks, and good luck either way.
 
THANKS for the heads up.

Thanks Jason.

For what it is worth, my second truck may become available as well as I am waiting to hear about a local motor already built that might be coming available. The other truck runs well, has 147k on the clock and smokes right at start up but then clears right up. It is also an 88 350 TBI.

Pete

Edit: Well I can't get rid of the second truck yet.

He is in North Pownal. The name of the road escapes me, but you climb a mountain and he's on the opposite slope. IIRC, his driveway has a pretty steep grade.

PM me if you need further directions or his number.

He is gone this weekend for the Yankee Toys gathering.

What- no shot of the pigpen?


They have a few pigs that have an fj40 Hardtop as the pen....pretty comical.

No pic of it here....

I have a few pics of Pat Halpins (the blue one) fj45 on wallys rock course, just have to resize them.

I think Wally fired up that blue 45 when I went up there (if it's the same one). IIRC it smoked a bit. I'm sure it's probably straightened out since this was a while ago.

Does he still have that V8 one on 36's that he was building a new tub for?

I was at Wally's on SAturday and didn't see a snowplow frame....but he has a lot of land.

Um...you could PM vtgreg on the board. He has a snowplow frame for sale in central VT. It was pulled from a FJ40 I believe and worked fine.
