Well, like I said before, I'd be willing to buy an automatic flexplate if you got it.
If the flexplate is good your welcome to it.Quote:

The sliding rear window, the raised lettering tailgate, the vinyl rear cab panel and the chrome windshield trim pieces are all uncommon and worth keeping, Luke.
Hey. im in Mesa and I'm pretty sure i have a spare 3 bolt flywheel. I would trade it for a 4 bolt flywheel, or the quad headlight grill, or the raised letter mitsu tail gate. any of those.Quote:

All of the 4G52 (2.0) and 4G54 (2.6) are 6 bolt centers, the difference in bolt patterns is the torque converter, the image you showed is the three bolt torque converter, which i have here in mesa, i also have a spare auto trans and a spare 2.6 engine.Quote:

Hey, I'm the one that needs the 3 bolt torque converter flexplate. I'm in Gilbert.Quote:

I went out this morning to grab it and count the teeth when i realized it's from my 4G32 engine, which is the 1.6 liter, which means it uses only 5 mounting bolts at the crank, so it wont work for anyone here. I'll label it and tuck it away with my other Colt parts. Sorry about that Haruman :(Quote:

I looked at the hardlines and some were kinda dented from the engine smacking into them so I replaced them with good hardlines from my parts truck. I can't get it to stay running and it's really frustrating me. If anybody can think of why it's doing this please let me know.

It's all good. Hoping Luke has the one I need. :)Quote:

It's just sitting in my backyard, I have no money to spend on it at the moment because of college and I now have a car to drive. My mom also wants it out of the yard. Any offers? I also have a ton of extra parts now.
I want the 83. Whats your price ?
$1000 would recoup all the money spent on this project. And you can have all the extra parts you'd like and I now have extra parts from 4 of these trucks. The truck I'm talking about is the silver 83 4x4 that wasn't crashed and disassembled.Quote:

I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about the history of this truck? my plan is to put it back on the road and restore it. Thanks for any help!
So I got everything swapped and running it just needed a new fuel pump. So the guy that got it from me fixed that and then proceeded to drive it. Without checking any fluids. So he drove the truck with no transmission fluid and I'm pretty sure the engine oil was low too. So go through and check all the fluids. I hope the transmission isn't toast because it worked perfectly fine before he drove it without fluid. I know the auto transmission is also broken and it won't fit on the 2.0 that's currently in there. It also needs new engine mounts one of them is bent. Other then that just cosmetics and tires and it should be good to go.
Awesome! Thanks! I checked the fluids and the coolant,oil, it looked good! it still runs great! The only problem now is that the transmission is stuck in first gear. So I have already dropped the tranny and I am going to look at all the pins and the shift linkages in it. The gears look brand new and the fluid was very clean! So I'm sure it is just a quick fix. Good truck though I'm very excited about it! I really appreciate your quick response!
I really wish I'd kept it but I just didn't have the time to work on it anymore. I do plan on getting another one very soon! Maybe the clutch just went out?
The clutch looks really good and the throwout bearing is smooth. I thought the same thing. but when we loaded it on my trailer it climbed up on it no problem and no slipping. Like I said I will be getting back to good street worthy condition again. Ive already bought gauges for it and I plan on redoing the interior as well. any idea about the mileage of the 2.0 you swaped in?
I think it's had about 140,000 miles on it. I had to swap the cluster into it so I think that's the cluster that came with the engine. Maybe the shifter just broke and the transmission is fine? And I have a set of red sport seats if you want those instead of the bench seats. They need to be rupolstered but they're the ones that came out of that truck. I still have a lot of mighty Max parts.
I'm thinking the shifter broke too. And if you have any parts at all id be willing to take them off your hands if you would like
