401 was only til 78. so if it is an 81 then its a transplant. pics help a lot

[89yotanut]

Yeah, the 401 is a transplant, how do I post photos?

Actually posted as a 81 but in fact is a 1982.

i dont know how to do photos. its pretty rough lookin. needs some work for sure. the engine did look like it had some eddy parts (which i like on my 401). where is the truck?

[89yotanut]

Here close to me in Norwood. What would you say it is worth just from the photos? I know all the ones I have had need work and had alot more rust.

[Eric1080]

it is clean. but why doesnt it run? how long has it sat around. offer him 500 and go up. it seems like a good starting platform especially if the 401 doesnt need a ton of work and $$$ to get running

[suddendeath]

I'd say offer him anything from $550-750.

Do the usual checks. Fuel in the carburetor bowl, spark at the plugs, etc. It could be a stupid fix to get it running, or it could be serious time and money. Either way, a 401 J-truck for less than $1000 sounds like a good start to a fun project.
