For comparison. I paid 800 for an sr5 v6 manual with baseline options, for my swap. Had no good body and rusty frame. And even I feel like I paid too much for it. Probably coulda got it for 500

Really ? You think it's high. What should I be aiming $$ wise.
Meh. Hard to say really, but yours is definitely worth more then mine. Has alot more sellables. Leather, roof rack alloys and such. Just seems a little high off the cuff. Id try to get it at to about 1000 if you can.

Well got to tinker with the truck again tonight. Changed the oil, and rotated my tires. Trucks at just over 160,000 miles as of now.
Going to be changing jobs in about a month and making more money! So time to plan out some new mods.
First things first though, gotta rebuild the front suspension, ive got some terrible tire wear going on...amd im on my original lbjs still
-so planning on new lbj
-new itre
-new otre
-looking into new shocks as wellwhile its all apart.
Was originally planning on putting in some 99 talls that I have alomg with some bilstein hds. But these new eibach adjustable height shocks, and of course gonna match the rears with the same shocks and either adding a daystar 1.5 inch spacr on my 99s, or some ome 906s
And quite possibly the first purchase will be some 285/70/17 Duratracs! Cuz the bfgs are showing there age, and now have 2 that are cupped, one with crazy inner edge wear.
Other plans include either repairing the front of my hood, or getting a sport one and painting it black.
My sunroof has totally pooped out and I have no idea how to attack that. Simple push of the button does nothing. Could be bad motor or gummed up mechanics. I have no idea so of anyone could help or point me in the right directions that would be fantastic.
Reverse lights also are not working, amd im looking into seat options as my drovers seat is both shot and torn up...
And I somehow have not taken any pictures of it lately... how sad is that

awesome journey!
cool swap, I did an auto to manual on my 65 6cyl mustang, HUGE difference in power, it really is sad how much an auto can rob.
looking forward to more!
