    Hello fellow truckers I'm looking at taking on another Big Cam Project The truck is a 1984 359 Pete 10 speed 4.11 24.5 However before I get raped The guy selling me the truck is saying that he had the heads reworked and the overhead ran on it but it keeps getting water on the # 3 piston.Anyone have a idea of what the problem could be! I'll upload some photo soon.

    Overheated, then worked on by an idiot, and now it's eating water. Better figure that truck for needing a motor.

    In today's market, it's worth 7 cents a pound, and you better not have to transport it far to get it home. I would geuss it weighs 17,000 so that makes it worth $1,190

    How many years that thing been sitting? The aluminum is turning to dust.

    Offer to haul it off for him for $200.00. He pays, not you.
