Me and a buddy of mine found a beat up 1997 Ram 3500 in a salvage yard, we got the whole truck for $250, complete motor, trans(5 speed), intercooler, etc, etc... We took the whole truck, cut the front end off and gave it back... The rest of the truck was destroyed(It sat for a while, with no windows, after being rolled over)... So the way it works out, got a 913 pump for free... We have the trans sold for $1000 to a buddy of ours, but we can't decide if we should sell the motor or hold onto it and build it, but now we have a bunch of spare parts laying around which is always good...:rockwoot:
Just got lucky...

Lucky...heck your are like the ugliest geek in high school who just landed the Hottest Babe on the Cheer Squad! Just remember to share the wealth my man!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA... That's how I felt... I just got a Mack plug and the extra springs to make a 4gsk for my stock pump, but looks like I won't be needing that now... I'm might keep the old pump for a spare, I'm trying to figure out if I should just do a 4gsk, afc mods, and a plate for the 913 pump, or send it out and have it gone over... Any advice???

A '97 would have an 887 pump on it. Good find man!

An AWESOME score! Good find!
I only have the one small spring to change the 3k to a 4k kit... The Mack plug is going on my old pump, I'm holding onto it for now... You never know when you'll need a spare...lol... The Mack plug can be picked up for cheap, I got mine and the extra spring for the 4GSK...
