1987 chevy single cab long bed?

[trav w]

im thinkin about buying a 87 chevy single cab long bed with a 305 and a 350 trans. It has a cracked head and 69,xxx original miles. the man only changed the oil twice and the oil now looks like axel grease.the body is strait with no dents. he wants 500 cash. sound like a good deal to u?

If the body is sound, you can replace the motor. Yeah, I would buy it for $500.

Absolutely, that body style is extremely popular, so even if you didn't want to fix the truck yourself, you could part the body out and make back your money plus some.
As far as fixing the truck, a replacement short block is not that expensive and the old chevy v8's are a piece of cake to swap parts back and forth from. Plus because they are so popular parts are cheap and easy to come by.
Once fixed and with proper maintenance those old motors are bullet proof and will run forever.
