Nice looking truck, Dave.
Brian, hit eBay and search eBay motors for ****** and see what's
actually selling. Just because someone asks $10,000 for a truck doesn't
mean it'll sell for that. Only really pay attention to the auctions that
have bids and are ending in a couple days or less. Those are the ones
that will give you a realistic idea what you're looking at for prices.

Also, check out the ads on the WillysTech.Com website. All the ******
freaks check in there regularly.

Good luck,
