Up for bids is my personal work truck. I quit burning wood and have purchased a new skid steer with forks for unloading semi trucks. This is a good solid built old Truck that is ready for some rough work. It is great in the snow or muddy trails. It has been driven regular and is dependable. I have owned the truck for 24 years and it has never left me stranded. It has been garage kept most of its life. I just put awesome new super swamper style trXus interco 33"x 16.5x 12.50 tires on it ,only 1000 miles on them since new. The engine runs better now than when it was new. I had the engine top end rebuilt 1 year ago. I just put $2000.00 in it with tires and engine top end work.It has had a new computer designed stock type Comp cams camshaft and lifters ,roller timing chain and new valve springs installed 1000 miles ago. Engine is 351M with Edelbrock 600cfm 4 barrel carburetor. Engine components were all basic OEM specs and this truck runs on normal 90 octane pump gas. 8-12 MPG is my normal. Quieter exhaust than most. Engine had a major overhaul 30,000 miles ago. Has had brake lines, master cylinder and front brake pads replaced 5000 miles ago. Has had numerous parts replaced over the past 24 years too many to list. Full time Four wheel drive works fine in high or low range. I have some matching left over paint that I will throw in with the truck, If you want it. Can be test drove or inspected by appointment. Selling As Is. Call me with any questions 563-544-4498 The BadThe fuel gauge and temp gauge do not work. One loose or wobbly u joint on the steering( but has been loose since I owned it). No back up lights and engine will start in gear. The truck was this way when I got it and I used it this way for 24 years. Some rust and dents, but not bad for a 37 year old truck. See pics
