Track bar bushings are $12 plus shipping from rockauto.com
The most expensive heater core available for this truck is $60 plus shipping from rockauto.com
Repairs will be cheap if you can do the work yourself. Please spend a few dollars and have a prepurchase inspection done. It's well worth the money.
I'm no mechanic, but I'm going to try and do the repairs myself. Can you tell me if there are any tools i might need that you wouldn't find in you're average toolbox?
The heater core could be a pain. You may have to remove the dash board to get to it which isn't fun.
It can be accessed from the engine compartment. It's on the passenger side of the firewall.
A press will serious help with the tracbar bushings but at a minimum you will want a 2-3 pound sledge and maybe a good sized socket that fits over the top to pound them and the sleeves out. I would suggest looking for a 2 piece bushing for easier installation, means the bushing is cut in half and then you slide the sleeve in once you put the pieces in. Way easier. The heater core isn't terrible to do just takes more time than you think it would. My first car was a 78 bronco, loved that truck nothing like a 351 and side exhaust with glass packs.. Woke up the whole neighborhood haha
