The rearend is going to cost a boatload drive it to a heavy frame shop to get an estimate before making an offer could be a nice truck for the right money

I guarantee the frame has rust jacking. When that trunnion crossmember is changed-getting all the bolts loose and knocking it out of there will
break loose rust between those rails, it will never bolt back up quite right unless the frame is opened and scaled. Then cracks are found.

Run Forrest Run!!! Unless you just want just the components and not a functional truck. Eighteen speeds for a dump truck, hope you don't have short hauls or you will spend more time rowing gears the whole time.

Yikes, I'd forget I ever saw it. Bad frame rust jacking isn't something you want to mess with, I bet you disturb what's left of that trunnion and it goes down hill fast from there lol

I'll echo everyone else's comments, that's not a great truck because the frame is going to be an endless problem. Also, is there any chance that was an over the road truck converted to a dump truck? If so, it probably doesn't have heavy axles under it anyway.
