yeah def make sure he has the papers to prove it was rebuilt, i bought a " rebuilt " motor and got hosed on the deal , it was never rebuilt and as much as i had to spend to get it running right i could have bought a brand new reman engine so do your research before you jump into anything. if its wired for subs and amps already, hit me up i have some amps and subs for sale if your interested

later

i drove it around, it starts, runs, and drives fine... i'll get pics up when i get the money to develop the camera... only problems i know of, no power steering (because of the swap) and i think its riding bumps

just because it starts up and runs fine doesnt mean it was rebuilt, just be careful like i said ask for proof, most people that get a motor rebuilt want to keep the paperwork for that reason


your call in the end regardless

yea... i'm glad y'all are watching out for me... by the time its all over with, it'll be rebuilt anyways... tear down to the block, paint/chrome, add some hp, and build it back... you know how we do...

i tried to get it down to 2k, she said 2500 or no deal... i really want this so i'll probly do it... she said she doesn't know about any papers on the engine.. i trust them though...

I'd make sure she has legal ability to sign over the trux too, I don't know how it werx where yer at but I 've had buddies get the shaft from dudes old ladies selling thier mans' stuff w/o consent lookin fer crack money but if ya know them and can trust them then go for it, If I were within reasonable range of an ext cab for sale I'd already have it , good thing I am far away eh! LOL

yeah she does. oh, btw, i found another mazda single cab, they want 800, but the body doesn't have a straight panel on it. so i was thinkin if i got it, i could use the parts off of that parts truck to straighten the body out... idk just an idea..
laydoutb26   +1y
OK UPDATE TIME!!! I did NOT get the ex cab they had... it was a piece compared to the one i did get... the one i got, is a 1992 B2600 with fuel injection, APC air filter, powdercoated intake, clear corners, clear signals, chrome grill and bumper, american racing rims, tinted windows, bedliner, rollpan, NEW ($900) two tone (silver on bottom, green on top) paintjob, Interior is like new, bucket seats, has a BUNCH of work done... i only paid 400 for it!!! only problem is, the guy said it overheated on him and he thinks he warped the head... BIG DEAL! like 50 bucks for a head gasket, then if it IS warped, all i gotta do is get it machined and resurfaced...

LUCK IS ON MY SIDE!!!



p.s. we also got the parts truck... its a 87 b2200 single cab...
