HERE WE HAVE MY GRANDFATHER'S DUCK HUNTING TRUCK. THIS TRUCK WAS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD 3 YRS. AGO & ONLY USED FOR DUCK HUNTING IN TENN.. MY GRANDDAD PASSED RECENTLY & I BROUGHT IT HOME TO GET RID OF IT. I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO HUNT ANYMORE SO IT'S USELESS TO ME. HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT IT. IT RUNS DECENT & HAS GOOD OIL PRESSURE BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY NEED THE CARB. REBUILT. IT DOES GOOD WITH THE CHOKE OUT A LITTLE BUT IT REFUSES TO TAKE GAS WHEN U JAB THE PEDAL. IT HAS NO BRAKES BUT WE DIDN'T CARE. IT HASN'T BEED DRIVEN OVER 15 MPH IN YEARS SO WE JUST STOPPED WITH THE E-BRAKE. ALL THE 4X4 WORKS AS IT SHOULD & EVERYTHING SHIFTS FINE. THE FRAME IS EXTREMELY SOLID FOR AN FJ WITH LITTLE TO NO RUST. THE DRAG LINK FROM THE STEERING BOX TO THE BELLCRANK HAS A MINOR BEND IN IT FROM WHEN HE GOT IT HUNG UP ON AN UNDERWATER STUMP. IT DOESN'T HURT ANYTHING BUT IT DOES CUT DOWN ON THE STEERING TO THE LEFT A LITTLE. THE BODY IS NOT BAD FOR A CRUISER. THE FRONT SHEETMETAL IS GREAT MINUS A SMALL REPAIRABLE DING IN THE HOOD. THE ROCKERS ARE AS SOLID AS THEY COME.THE QUARTERS ARE BETTER THAN AVERAGE AS WELL AS THE REAR BARN DOORS WITH A LITTLE RUST AT THE BOTTOM. THE REAR SILL UNDER THE DOORS DOES HAVE RUST & SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE FRONT FLOORS ARE GREAT WITH 1 HOLE ABOUT 1X3 IN. UNDER WHERE U'RE HEAL WOULD SIT WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR FLOOR IS A LITTLE WORSE WITH A COUPLE SMALL HOLES IN CONFINED AREAS BUT SOLID AS A WHOLE. THE HARDTOP & FRONT DOORS ARE TRASH. LAST HUNTING SEASON, A PINE TREE SNAPPED OFF & FELL ACROSS THE TOP, BREAKING THE FIBERGLASS & TWEAKING THE TOPS OF THE DOORS. IT DID NOT TOUCH OR CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE WINSHIELD FRAME. IT IS PERFECT & STILL FOLDS DOWN. IT ALSO HAS A VINTAGE WARN 8274 WINCH ON THE FRONT BUMPER BUT IT IS NOT INCLUDED UNLESS U USE BUY IT NOW. I REPEAT!!!! THE WINCH WORKS EXCELLENT BUT IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE SALE UNLESS U USE THE BUY IT NOW. I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT FOR MY SON'S TRUCK. THE TIRES HAVE GREAT TREAD BUT ARE STARTING TO DRY ROT FROM SITTING SO MUCH & THE RIGHT FRONT HAS A LEAK. THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT WILL TAKE A JUMP & WILL STAY HOT IF USED DAILY. THE TRUCK WAS NEVER BEAT ON, BUT IT HAS BEEN USED FOR HUNTING SO IT HAS SEEN A GOOD BIT OF MUD & WATER SO IT WOULD NEED A GOOD CLEANING UNDERNEATH. THE TRUCK COULD BE PUT BACK ON THE ROAD WITH A CARB., BRAKES & A PAPER BAG FOR THE DRIVER'S HEAD (THE DUCK PAINT JOB IS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING FOR DAILY COMMUTES). FOR A GOOD HUNTING TRUCK, I'D PUT ON SOME NEWER RUBBER & A GOOD BATTERY & HIT THE WOODS. IT WOULD ALSO MAKE A GOOD CRAWLER/TRAIL TRUCK OR EVEN A PARTS TRUCK. I HAVE AN OPEN TITLE ON HAND & WILL AIR UP THE TIRE & BOOST THE BATTERY SO WE CAN PUT IT ON THE TRAILER. I'M SORRY FOR THE BOOK BUT I TRY TO BE HONEST & THOROUGH SO THERE ARE NO SURPRISES. I WILL SHIP IT IF U ARRANGE & PAY FOR IT.
