Yup! Just the start of it. Bought the truck for $800 knowing it needed a shit load of work. Wanted a driving project which this one is as long as the tranny holds out until I swap it out for a remanufactured one. The engine runs good, good compression and no blue smoke, just everything else needs replacing. I can do most of it myself, but rebuilding diffs is not something I can do. Hoping to bring it back to stock and keep it for 10+ years. Frame's straight and solid, body and interior are actually really good. Again, just drivetrain stuff needs replacing.

I went into mine with a similar mind set. Being it was an auction vehicle I was fully prepared to replace the engine and trans right off the bat. Turns out I didn't have to but I keep realistic expectations about when things break. The only time we are disappointed in life is when when expect something. That being said I always expect shit to go wrong.
Sounds like you're well prepared to handle anything this truck throws at you. Rock on and enjoy your journey with it.
