Choice #11976 Datsun 620 King Cab Delux70 miles from mePros:Very little rust on itHas a good trannyInterior is niceClear SC titleL20B motor(non running)Factory rims and hub caps

Cons:Owner wants $200 for itNeeds motorNeeds Paint__________________________________________Choice #21978 Datsun Lil hustler2 miles from mePros:Only $100Clear SC titleGood trannyL20B motor(non running)Afer market rims

Cons:RustRustAnd more rust!Motor is shotAlmost nothing useableMissing 2 rims_____________________________________________

Thats my choices right now, other than rebuild my truck totaly. In order to do that i would ahve to try get a title and need to find another transmission. Plus i would have to fix all the rust. There is another truck for $50 with no transmission or title and a L18 motor that i plan on buying no matter what. Distance isnt really a problem to me. AS for choice one being $200 im going to offer the guy $100 for it and see what happens. His wife wants it out of the yard ASAPWhat truck should i buy

Get the $200 down as much as possible. It would be a much easier one to work with, since no rust.
