buddy said, if i can get it running good i can have it, its got a camo paint job, i guess the metal is bent around the tranny and theres no gasket so it leaks tranny fluid bad, gonna get some new spark plus, new Distributor Cap And Rotor, oil and filter chnage, if i can get it running good itll be my new *&^^&* up truck its got a 2.8 in it, im probally gonna get a sotage unit and take it there to fix the tranny or sompin, oncei figure out whats wrong with that.

its all some at's on it alredy, ill probally put a cheap booty lift on it

You can try to rebuild a transmission on your own, but it's usually not a smart thing to undertake unless you have a ton of time and patience. I should own my transmission shop in a month or so if you can hang on, I'm sure we can help you...
