My Crankshaft broke on my engine. Should I just replace the Crankshaft or go ahead and put in a new engine. It's an old truck with a lot of miles. Thanks

If the engine compression are within specs-why not go for a crankshaft kit. I'll do it, to buy more time till it kicks the bucket. Then again its your decision for the new engine, body in good shape I'll go the new one.
