Vehicle Detail
Just in time for the coming winter months or for those of you that want a good little farm truck/workhorse. I originally listed this truck on Ebay about 4 months ago. I'm listing it for a friend who at the time was unaware of an error on the title. The title has since been fixed and it now has a clear Florida title. The truck was purchased at an equipment auction and one of their employees put the wrong VIN on the paperwork which no one ever verified. Please rest assured that there is no issue with the paperwork of any kind. This truck was from Georgia and was supposedly a one family owned vehicle that was solely used as a off road farm truck. We don't know that for sure but the odometer says almost 71K miles which seems to make sense with the farm story. The engine runs very good, transmission shifts great, transfer case and 4x4 work flawlessly. It has never had one spec of rust on the frame, ever. The only rust it has is in the front top corners of the floorboards where they meet the cab. This would be a very easy fix. The rest of the body, bed, frame, etc is 100% rust free. The two spots it has are approx. 2" x 4" in size. It has been repainted to it's original black paint color, but the paint job was not blocked out before hand, so it has a roughish texture but it's pretty cool and it looks kind of rat rod. The interior is a little rough, the dash pad is cracked, the visors are long gone, the seat has been covered and the door panels have been well used. It has a custom made rear bumper with a built in hitch. Larger 15" tires and wheels, new shocks, new filters and fluids, new battery, etc. The power steering and brakes work great, the A/C is all there and functional but has a possible leak and the controls have a mind of their own. I suspect a vacuum leak. The gas gauge and temp gauges need new sending units. All of the exterior lights work perfectly. It also has a spray in bedliner. Obviously, the shining start to this truck, other than the fact that it's incredibly rare, is the Isuzu C223 4cyl diesel engine. Many people know that these trucks will run on almost anything that's combustible with almost no modifications. They also have a lot of torque for being so small and get great mileage. This one runs great, if anything it could use the injector pump timed a little better. This little truck is a head turner wherever it goes. It drives pretty nice and long as your not in a hurry and don't mind a little noise. It would make a great winter commuter or project truck for you guys that love making alternative fuels. This truck is incredibly rare and even moreso that it isn't rotted in half like most of these trucks did. It needs a few things here and there and a little love and you would have yourself a very unique cruiser that is sure to appreciate in value. Here is a list of the new items it has....Paint job/ spray in bedliner 2/12Chevy HHR grill emblem2011 Silverado tailgate emblemchevy S-10 tailgate diesel emblemLED license plate lightnew Monroe shocksBigger tires and wheels 3/12All fluids and filters changed 3/12If you have any questions, you can call or text me at 941-720-0300.
