BB for SB...Your opinions please.

Thanks RIck and Jim. I appreciate the input. I think it was so dirty externally cause it came out of a toy. this truck was offroad only in the latter parts of its life. I was able to look past the grime and mud when I looked a bit closer though. The oil was clean, the filter was recent, VC gaskets were newer, etc., so I believe he did good maintenance, just crappy housekeeping. I may try to hold on to it, I guess. Just depends if I can find a decent affordable SB along the way. We are on 'shoestring' budget to say the very least. That's why I have to do everything in-house and lots of junkyard parts. But I love the car and think its worth the effort.
