Default 318s rock

so my truck has been parked outside for maybe 9-10 months. the frame is too far gone to bother with fixing and both diffs are toast. tonight i got it pushed inside, and after fixing some corroded wires under the hood it runs like a champ. im sure the gas in it is half stale but it idled like a champ and roared without hesitation when i asked it too. Im not fixing my truck, but it will live on in my new project.

They are great engines that will push till the end. What happened to you frame? And what is your new project? I know it is in the other post, but for the sake of digging out what exactly broke the axles again?

Too bad to hear your truck went to hells on you. That is/was my favorite truck on here.

Will you be parting it out?

How did the 318 do with those 38's?

ill be using the motor, trans, wiring harness ect in the jeep. if anybody needs other parts i would definately sell them

the 318 would still light up the 38s with 3.55 gearing. should have had 4.88s to get back to stock ratio

My driver side window crank handle wore out (**** keeps popping off) and the trim around the door handles, someone broke them before they sold me the truck but it would probably cost more to ship from you than there worth. Thats if you have them.
