Last needs-a-clutch truck I bought, coincidentally for $500, had a
blown 9", bad rear driveshaft, and the front driveshaft was in the toolbox because it was bad as well - but the clutch was fine. Plus there was a 1/8" gap between the intake and block so that it drooled oil - only when driven.
That was the truck that made me institute the rule that trucks which cannot be driven to ascertain their problems are only to be parted out.
