Agreed, the 4.3 is a much better engine. I'd be wanting to know who and how deep they went on the engine rebuild of that 2.8. Of course $500 is not much of a gamble...

Take a good long look underneath at the frame too. The body can look really good while the frame has little more strength than toothpicks. There's some funny Toyota pickup pictures out there.
