Default New truck update!!!

Well got the truck tonight guys! 400 bucks!!!
Truck is a 1998 2500 sport with 410 gears detroit lockers f/r. 5.5in lift, 488 V10 8L. 80k miles. SDo I will be swapping the axles and lift over to my truck(dont want a gas guzzling v10). Going to part out the truck as there is lots of good parts. When I swap to my truck im rebuilding the front suspension parts before i slap it in mine... Going to be running 35s on black rock crawler rims, might sell the detroits and get either arbs or ox lockers eventually. Here is a pretty good pic of it lol. Oh yea!!! I also got an almost brand new 9500 warn winch.... that is NOT for sale hahah

Stuff I am selling
v10
tranny
t-case
frame?
my axles
my tires/wheels(stock 1500 from a 1996)
lots of odds and ends from the 2500 v10

Lets me know if you want anything! You will need to pay for shipping... I want like 1800 for the drivetrain(engine, tranny, t-case..) total.

Lol if the engine dont sell maybe haha. Sooo found a set of 37in tires too..... Might run those... Also if i have the cash i am going to put a steel rear bumper on, linex my front one.. get side steps... and a few extras... might toss the cage that was in the truck on my if its straight(haven check really). Btw this isnt going to be a year long project.. This will all be done with in a month if that. I will be taking pics when i start working more(all i have done is pulled the pcm/ecm and rad.

Roll bar has a dent but should be fine. Rear bumper also has a dent but is not rusty haha. Although its white... but u could paint it black.. or rust color to match....

****, that looks worse than my dad's F350 did after my idiot sister piled it into a tree and laid it on the driver's side....


as far as the frame goes, i'd go over it to make sure it's not all bent to hell

and smart move on rebuilding the front suspension before you do the swap, i'd also check the brakes and do the rear axle seals if they are leaking at all...
