I would check the most important thing first before purchase. Do a search in these forums for 53 block. Just click on search & type 53 block. lots of info on this subject there. The 99 models mostly had the 53 blocks so check it & be safe.

at 297K i don't think the 53' would be a concern. unless it's cracked of course.

Also when did they change the LP and VP-44 last

Well I went and drove the truck. Started extremely well. May have turned over once before it started. Had very little play in the steerin. I did not take my gauge with me to check fuel pressure. Did however find out it has a nice oil leak on it, enough that it was drippin in one place. I think im probly gonna pass on it. Got a flatbed on it that would have to go jus because its the uglyest one I've ever seen. lol Thanks for ya'lls input
