1994 Might Max
120k
2.2 4cyl
2wd
body is in good condition (live in Iowa so rust is always present to a degree) and it appears to run/shift well

The seller is asking $1,200 but hasn't sold it in 2 months. What's a fair price? I've reviewed the sticky going over what a new owner should check and I'll look at these items before I make the purchase tonight/tomorrow.

Will a 2wd be sufficient in light-moderate snow?

How difficult is it to change the timing belt? I'm fairly competent with engines.

Any advice, tips, suggestions, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
So this truck fell through but wanted to see if anyone could answer a question about a D50 I found locally.

1988 D50 with 130k, 4x4, 2.9 carb engine. Everything about the truck is great EXCEPT 5th gear is out.
What could cause just 5th gear to go out? What sort of headache would I be buying if I purchase the truck?

Any advice is appreciated. I love these little trucks and can't seem to find one locally so I'm hoping this one will work out.
