Totally understand all sides of this. If I wasn't the "car person" I am, no way I'd continue. Weirdly enough, the thought of pulling the transmission doesn't phase me at all.

One thing at a time tho. I can see the original owner cared about the truck based on the car fax dealer service intervals as well as the clear paint protective film on the hood, bumper/fenders, and even mirrors and turn signals. However owner 2 definitely didn't give a hoot and beat it up apparently lol. The body is wildly clean for a northern truck, it was clearly kept up with over the years.

Weather's been pretty crappy in Ohio these past few days so, I haven't had the desire to go out in the cold and look things over more. I may have a lift, 80 gallon compressor, 5 tool boxes and 2 welders, but I don't have a heater haha. One day I keep telling myself...

Will keep this updated as I go. Thanks again for all the help and input
