    Heh. Lots. As much, or more, than you paid for it. I bet you need a
    transfer case, or a bunch of front end work. A seller who doesn't tell you
    these things should be assumed to be hiding lots more. (Unless they didn't
    know about them, which is possible.) Of course, if you do all the work
    yourself, it may not be a huge fortune, and you'll certainly learn lots
    about the truck.

    :

    Call British Pacific, in Burbank. They can sell you manuals and new parts,
    and may well know where the used stuff is. 818 841-8945/800 554-4133
