95 auto if I remember correctly.
Chris, damn the bad luck
, give us some details on yer truck and we may be able to help you out, need some pics too
Well i'm not set up to send pictures on my computer, I'll check around with other folks i know that might be able to on thiers. I only have liability on my pickup so i think parting it out is my only option since i have to replace it. Ended up getting a 98 chev 1/2 ton extended cab 350 with 5spd. We just had our first baby and we needed an extra cab. Had to have a truck for work,so i didn't have time to look for another 12valve. I already miss that truck, it treated me well.
The damage starts on the front left side, mainly he side swiped me hitting the tire first fairly direct causing it to blow and bent the rim. the impact tweaked the front tires way to the left ,wrecked all the linkage, tie rods etc. . The whole front axle was shoved back bending the stabilizer arms on the left prety bad. I don't know yet if the transfer case is shot but it prolly is , the whole left side of the truck is scraped and dented pretty good, the door still opens and closes without difficulty. So there you have it. Mostly front end undercarriage stuff. From what i've seen i think the dana 60 front is still salvageable/ no damage to the engine. The truck is a 95 base model, no cruise or anything fancy, the interior is still in great shape and the bench seat still looks new. The tranny is a 47rh and the rear end is an open dana 70.
Been a super truck, the only thing i didn't care for was the tranny.
Just guessing i'd say the engine is worth around 3000. I've changed the oil every 3-4000 and fuel filter every 12000. Even after 3000 the engine oil still looks clean which seems odd because most diesels i've seen the oil is black right away.
