    It's a 94 4x4 auto 3.0 v6 txt cab with 70,000. It has a blown head gasket, I've never replaced one and not sure how to or how much coin I'm in for. If I buy it for $1300 is that a good deal?

    I've done a mod or two
    Not the easiest job because of all the disassembly and very careful reassembly and likely machining as the 3.0 v6 was famous for blowing head gaskets and overheating. Plus it makes less power than our modern 4cyls. I don't know, it wouldn't be worth it for me.

    Thanks for chiming in.
    Sucks the truck is damn near flawless, and to find one in WV with no rust is impossible

    I'd say its not a bad deal if the truck is rust free and doesn't have other problems.

    All I see is potential for a Hilux 1.8 TD or 4bt swap...

    That's what I'm doing spending what I don't have. Isn't that what everyone does?
