Through the years, I have cultivated quite a number of sources to obtain good, used equipment. If you determine the direction you'd like to take, I'd be happy to help you any way I can. As far as buying something and then it needing an engine- keep this in mind when purchasing. You can go completely through the engine compartment of a "gas burner" for about a third of the cost of a diesel. If you bought something with an "old" 454 or 460 gas (although not so fuel efficient) you will have more than enough power and they are very affordable to repair. plus just about any shop can work on them. Also remember, the diesel engines of today of not the engines they used to be. They are ridiculously burdened with excessive electronics and emmisions related hardware- making them less reliable than they once were and much more expensive to maintain/repair.

I'm selling my GMC 3500 truck.
454 gas engine like you mentioned.
No one seems to be able to drive a stick these days, so it's not much use to my crew.
I can't post the flickr link for more photos (e-mail me and I'm allowed), but here is the craigslist ad:
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/2158429792.html
Advertising as $4600. ( to tree buzz guys inside secrete; I'll take $4100 for the rock bottom price.) Don't even try below that price!
put in a dump bed insert and put on plywood sides like I did for years, good cheap chiptruck.
the truck would love to get back to work and I'd feel good about where it went,... we did a lot of work together...
read the craigs list ad for the details, if interested, write me for more and I'll tell you everything I know.
