Sounds like a great deal. Truck looks to be in good shape and has a winch setup too! I would buy it for $2500 even w/ a blown engine - assuming good title and the body/drivetrain are good.

Engine: depending where you are, it may be a minor detail. In the PA area, running engines are plentiful and cheap (under $400) due to V8 repowers. From discussions on the M37 forum (www.bigelectric.com), it appears that the are lots of 230's swapped out for repowers across the country. It's less expensive and faster to change engines than rebuild. Most M37 engines have under 40Kmls so there's plenty of life left in them. Finally, M37's don't have matching #'s for the engines so swapping out a blown engine for another 230 or 251, if CDN, won't hurt the truck's collectability.

IMHO: Stop reading, log off the computer, run over there, and buy the truck !!!
