Preferably no engine or blown engine, manual, 4wd. looks, interior, cosmetics don’t really matter as long as it can be insured and put on the road plow is a +\\ looking to spend **at most** $1000 Yes I know this is rednecky but I live in the country and I own a house so I need some kind of 4wd truck…thats what I tell my wife lol I am surrounded by fields and dirt roads. ---

Well just to throw it out there: Have a 78’ Chevy suburban, 2WD 235 inline 6, 4spd manual. Body is a little rough, but does run. ---

Don’t have any pics of it, it would be quicker for you to just come look at it and decide you don’t want it. Would like to get $900 for it. ---

ok cool, I’ll wait a little bit and see what else is lying around here and I will get a hold of you. I actually wanted a suburban but they’re a bit harder to come buy it seems. ---

LOL, We’ve got two, a 77’ and a 78’. The Other is a V8 Auto, with a nice body. Hasn’t run in years tho. Make you a nice package deal! ---

1970 3/4 3 door suburban since you don’t care about the body. It’s an auto though, but you could easily convert it to manual. Would need some work as it has been sitting some, but it does have a No-Spin (posi) rear in it. body is rough, but savable if you wanted a project. Already has some bondo, so putting some more on shouldn’t be an issue. I wanted to keep the drivetrain, but would sell it with it. I have a title for it (it’s titled as a 73 for some reason, but all VIN’s match.) currently a 350/th350/NP205 with an HO52 No Spin rear with 4:10’s I believe. might be 4:56’s. Located in Binghamton, NY. Would be near the upper end of your range with the drivetrain.
