So I'll throw a new engine in it and have a great truck for well under book value! What do y'all think?

I make my own luck!
But seriously all it takes is putting the time in hunting for deals and the ability to be the first person there with cash!
Also having a trailer is helpful! Lol

Money talks. Always has always will. Did you buy it from an individual or from an insurance company or what?

That's right! I bought it from the owner. He admitted to not checking the oil or changing it for over a year!
When I called he said the lowest he would take was $1000 so when I pulled up with the truck and trailer and pulled out $800 and said it will be gone right now! he took it!

When I went back the next day to pick up the spare tire he said he had to delete the ad late at night cause his phone wouldn't stop ringing! Lol
The ad wasn't even posted 2 hours and I was there with the trailer!
