What would you do? Buy the truck and keep or sell?

I know of a mid 80's chevy shortbed for sale. It has an 8" lift, bald 39.5" swampers, Dana 60 front 4.56, 14 bolt rear 4.56 detroit, NP205, TH350. It does not have a motor. Now the guy wants 2k for it. I would like to keep it but I wouldn't have room for it. There is also a guy who would buy it from me minus the D60 for $800.

I'm debating if I want to buy it and steal the dana 60 and 8" lift, put my 4" lift and 10 bolt front in it. Swap the 14 bolt gears / carrier for my carrier, and sell the truck as is for $1000 and buy me some new tires. Only problem is the 39.5's would not fit with a 4" lift. I'll have to check to see if it has a 3" body as well.

Or I could just yank the dana 60 and sell it to that guy for $800.

Or I could keep it?

So what would you do? Any other ideas?

It's the orange truck in this picture..

Has alot of good parts from yer description. Definately a good start. Buy it and build her up, thats what i would do.

39.5's will fit with only 4 inches, iv ran them several time with only 4 inches, but i usually run 38.5's

how about building the orange one from your truck? motor and tires... then sell yours... seems like that'd be less work...

How about selling me that D60? You can keep the 4.56 gears.

So you could pay $2,000 for the truck and then resell it for $800 minus the front D60...........so you are basically paying $1,200 for a front Dana 60 That's not a very good deal, even if you also stole the Detroit out of the back.

I agree, but thats the best deal I can find without driving 5 hours to find an axle.
