It's a Dodge.. Go for it.. Depending on the price.. I would say my
priority would be in making sure the truck is complete; Missing a bunch of
little things can be a PITA to round back up.
Old small block.. it'll probably run; as a precaution follow the suggested
procedures to minimize damage from waking it back up; figure on most likely
replacing several seals.. and possibly a few little things like freeze plugs
and the soft line of the brake system.
When I was ressurecting my old truck.. It basically makes a good time for
some major tune up and maintenance items. Most of what it'll need will be
inexpensive but add up in the time to do.
Enjoy.. and don't forget to look also at www.ramchargercentral.com as well
for a wealth of info for your W200.
