I am needing to sell this truck to fund my dragracing habit. I bought the motor with another car, and I was told the engine was a crate 350 short block with 1.94 heads, Edelbrock Performer Intake, and Edelbrock 650 carb installed by previous owner. I've been told that this may not be the case by someone else. For that reason, I will list it as rebuilt. The motor is probably stock, but may have a mild cam. It does sound really mean though with the dual exhaust. The truck has a th350 with a B&M Z-Gate shifter on the console and a limited slip posi 3.73 rear end that has leaf springs and Lakewood Traction bars to help it grab. The drive train seems to be in great condition. The engine has a new alternator, water pump, and belts, shorty headers, 2.5 inch dual exhaust connecting to two Flowmasters and turned down before the axle, new plugs, wires, wire looms (not in pix), chrome flame valve covers, and matching breather. I put a rear main seal in the engine just in case it could leak before I put it in the truck. A friend helped paint the truck about 1 1/2 years ago. I'd give the paint job an 8, but that is because I know all the spots that are not perfect. I tried to take pictures of the spots that I know are there (front driver's fender has a very small ding, front passenger fender has a ding up front by the head lights next to the hood, dent in the bottom of the passenger door that can be seen when up close, and rust spot above the passenger rear tire that I guess resulted from sweat before it was primered?). The frame has over 200,000 miles on it, but seems to have new ball joints installed. All bushings seem fine too. Since I put the truck together I've driven the truck around the block a few times (maybe 15 times) and that is all the miles I have put on it since the rebuild was done (or crate engine installed). The truck has 14 inch Drag Lite wheels on it as far as I can tell. They are very light and in great shape. I'd say the fronts are 6 inches wide and the back are 8 inches, but that is a guess. The tires will pass inspection, but will need replaced before too long. The gas gauge doesn't work. The radiator fan whistles a little when engine is reved and could be replaced if you want the noise to go away. I think the heat and air vent will work by the time the auction is over. I'm waiting on a switch and a resistor that should fix it. I haven't got the time to finish everything, especially if I am not going to keep it. Besides that, I already have too much money in it to dump any more into it. I haven't got to have the fun that I'd like to have in the truck, especially since I have put so much time into it. However, I was told I had to choose between it and the the drag car as my toy so I had to pick the drag car. The truck is fun to drive, but I haven't bothered to get it tagged to drive every day. Depending on where it is going to be tagged, it may need converters and an emergency brake installed. As far as I can see there are no other issues with the truck other than the bawling I'm going to do when it is gone. At least mama will be happy though. haha. I have about $3500 in the truck just so you know (mama does not) so anything under that will be a steal in my opinion. I've given you all the details I know to give you and been as honest as possible. You know the bads and the goods. If you have more questions then feel free to ask. If you want to call then mention it with your question(s) and I will give you my number. $500 Paypal deposit due within 72 hours of auction unless arranged otherwise. The rest of the balance is to be paid in cash when buyer picks the truck up. Buyer is responsible for pickup and delivery. Truck is for sale locally as well so I reserve the right to sell it and end the auction early. However, I will not do that if there is already someone who has bid on it here on ebay.
