Truck is a 1991 F250 Regular Cab Longbed 4x4 5 speed

Long story: I bought the truck as a beater to drive during michigan winters... since buying it (Nov 2015), i've put a decent amount of parts into it.... i've replaced the glowplugs & glowplug wires, new battery cables, & 2 group 31 batteries, facet electric pump conversion, new vacuum pump, 3G alternator upgrade, new TTB & leaf spring poly bushings, new tie rods & draglink... also of note: PO claimed to have rebuilt T-Case, replaced injectors & IP pump from conestoga... & also put in SMF and new clutch... again PO claimed to, but I have no documentation. Has newish 285/75-16 Cooper Discovery AT'3s... Rears are 9/10... Fronts are 4/10

The bad news... the motor locked up on my drive home today. I was cruising at highway speed, then the motor all of a sudden started knocking bad (sounded like I had a jake brake)... then shut off. I popped the hood & had steam coming out of the intake & the dipstick reading was super high. When I got the truck home, I confirmed the crank would not spin with a breaker bar...

So all this said, before I throw it up on CL for $1 OBO... I wanted to see if there was any interest amongst the oilburners as a parts truck. I will try to get some pictures up this weekend... but for now, here are a few videos of the truck:

How do the driveshafts look? Any idea how bad shipping would be on them?

I'm scared of shipping rates but 3G setup to Springfield Oregon? If shipping is crazy someone closer can buy it

Definitely interested in that air cleaner as it's almost the same as the banks power pack one I'm looking for.

Depending on what you would want for the 4x4 ZF5, and if you could meet halfway (I'm in Ohio), I may be interested in it.
