If it wasn't a 97 it would be in my driveway already. Anyone else?

I don't know what your neck of the woods is, you didn't fill out your profile. Probably not driving distance anyway.

Any 5.0 expo is getting "rarer" this part of the world. They either were garaged or bought in another state since anything that has been here its whole life is probably rusted out by now.

I agree with 4.0power $1,000. There is a 97 w/V-8 for $1450, & a 98 w/V-8 w/142K for $2500 on Craigslist in the Philadelphia area.

I would pay $800-1200 for a truck like that
I would TRY to get it closer to the $800 but refuse to go home empty if we are talking another $200-300 to bring it home.

97 should not scare you in fact the 97 is a wicked good year for swapping
The 97 has P heads (most likely, does it have the EGR tube on pass side?) non pats, return fuel and a VSS!!.
The 4r70w is still a damn good transmission in 97 (its the early 93-94 4r70w that got a bad wrap). 
The 96-97 unit found in the Ex is still very good and the upgrades can be done easily through the pan.

I would jump on that deal, 93K miles if it is in good condition with a title....well they are getting harder to find.
The drivetrain itself is worth $1000-1200, and you get a rear axle as a bonus. The rest of the truck is not worth much LOL unless the seats are really nice has good tires, etc etc

Around Atlanta all 0f the Expo's of that vintage go from $1500 to $4500 depending on trim package but they all have over 200k miles on them. Big NOPE.
