Hello Everyone! You are looking at a beautiful and extremely rare truck. I had to look for one of these for a very long time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to devote any time towards making it my dream truck, with the exception of the wheels and tires. I purchased the wheels off eBay, and the tires are brand new (less than 500 miles on them). The truck is in great condition. The previous and original owner took excellent care of it (evidenced by the engine bay and interior). When I purchased it, it had the transmission issue. I've put about 1500 miles on it, including an 800 mile round trip across the Midwest. The transmission makes noise when the clutch is out, and in every gear with the exception of fourth. Some gears are worse than others. My point is this: I felt comfortable driving it a considerable distance. Here are some pros: -Extremely hard to find: V-8, 5-SPD manual transmission, 2WD, Regular Cab. -Extremely clean engine bay -Fresh oil change at 112,000 -New 255/55/17 tires (less than 500 miles) -Interior is in excellent condition, with the exception of stains on the rear portion (close to seat) of the carpet -Engine runs great! These 318 ci/ 5.2L V8s are known for their longevity. The previous and original owner took excellent care of this vehicle. -Averaged 19 MPG on 800 mile road trip (this is really good considering 3.9 axle ratio) -Limited Slip rear diff -9.25" Chrysler rear end -Nice throaty rumble from an aftermarket Borla cat-back exhaust (sounds really burblely when throttle is closed and slowing down!!) -Has a really nice cover that latches in and rolls up easily. Cons: -Some light rust over rear wheel (visible in picture) -Small indentations on hood (not visible in pictures) -Transmission is making noise (not a clutch issue) In closing, I know this beautiful truck will find a great home. If you're interested and want to know more, message me. I tried to make a video of the noise, and it was not audible over the exhaust. Vehicle is sold AS-IS. I have made the utmost attempt to describe the vehicle in detail.
