The truck comes with 2 motors, I just have to put one in and hook it up, which is no biggie because my buddy has the place and tools to do that.

I hate working on the ninja with a passion(fucking cheaply made bike) and it just keeps pissing me off. The other ninja is literally a rolling frame with a motor that goes wth it, 2 sets of bodywork, and some additional parts. overall I'm just needing a truck more than a bike I'm always fighting with.

I dont have pictures of my bikes on hand, and am too lazy right now to find the truck pics.

You think the Vortec V6's are junk...you shoulda seen the 2.8L V6 that was in the S10 Blazers before that. Talk about a fucking slug.

My 4.3 vortec S10 carried me 248,000 problem free miles other than a water pump, I sold it and still see it running around from time to time.

Last one my family had only lasted 140k and was toast. to me thats pathetic when a motor should have around a goodly 300K+ mile lifespan.

At least based on the market around here, I don't think it's a good deal

Should be able to get a running truck for $1500.

If you're saying that somebody started doing a V8 conversion on it and stopped partway through, or did one then decided to convert it back, I wouldn't pay more than $250... who knows what may have gotten fucked up on it along the way
