Your first post said you would take no less than 8500 dollars. You followed this with saying your open to offers.... I feel, and apparently everyone else does to, that your so far off the mark that its not even worth the time to make an offer because we're so far apart.
You have a truck that needs 3k in machine shop work and parts PLUS the labor. Weather you do the job yourself or not, labor is labor. Add in having to haul the truck home instead of flying in and driving it off. It adds up.
Now, if you'd get serious on your price I will too. I know your trans and front end parts are worth more than my offer....
