been there done that last fall-

midway through yote trapping tranny went out of trapping truck, then in dec motor went out in my "good " truck-

you might be able to find a rebuilt at a decent price- found one with new heads, etc for $900- about that to put in- but cheaper than new truck.

You can get newer 4.3 V6 with under 112000 miles for 400 to 550 bucks craigs list and junk yard motors with 1yr war for 500 to 700.00. Being that has put a newr trans ect.

Dang Tom seems like you just go that truck? Two many hard miles for the thing huh.
I keep limping along with my old beater but I think the day are getting numbered. Pulled the quad runner to the lake the other day and she barely made it up the hills coming back home.
I'd sure like a new one but I get such sticker shock..

 Lee,I don't think my stuff will fit in a Hot Wheels.That is about what I have to spend on a new ride.Cleaning and putting up castor mounds ,right now.
 Limped old bessy home yesterday,she is now resting in the yard.Just trying to figure out what to do next.
