Purchased the truck on Ebay in June 2007 near Las Vegas, Nevada. The seller claimed his grandfather bought the truck new in Vegas. I Flew out, replaced the radiator, hoses, belts, changed the oil and headed east. The truck ran like a dream until a tire delaminated in Missouri, eating the passenger inner fender. Upon return home, replaced the inner fender, repaired the windshield track, replaced a rocker and had the truck painted on the lower white area. I had intended to rebuild the engine and trans but this truck ran and runs so well, I couldn't see the point. Engine is real strong, doesn't smoke significantly or use a significant amount of oil. I have purposely left the engine compartment unrestored to demonstrate to a future buyer that this truck is original and unmolested. The seller claimed the original engine had been rebuilt and the trans replaced with a rebuilt unit sometime in the last decade. The only modifications from stock are the addition of headers (I still have the manifolds), a stainless Magnaflow exhaust, door speakers (the holes were already cut) and a modern I-pod ready stereo made to look original. Virtually everything in the interior is new. I have used this truck as a daily summertime driver and have stored it in a heated garage. Every year I picked something to improve and did it. This is a super clean original, unmolested truck. I would head for the west coast tomorrow in this truck without fear. I hate to sell it but time to free up space for other toys. I suspect I will wake up 5 years from now and regret selling this truck. The paint is 75%. The hood is very slightly faded (I assume from the desert sun) but I'm sure it would buff out with a power buffer (I don't own one). Other than one rocker (replaced) the only rust was on the kick panels in the cab. This has been recently repaired and the cab floor painted. All the trim has been replaced, windshield is new, shocks new, rubber body mounts new. The tires are 90%. Truck is equipped with: Power steering, Manual brakes (work well and stops straight), A/C (doesn't blow cold but it's all there) and a factory built in toolbox option. I couldn't find replacement locking mechanism for the toolbox, so I fabricated an arrangement that looks original from the outside. The bed is unrestored because I still occasionally use this truck as a truck. The bed is dinged and chipped some but there are no rust holes of any sort. Comes with all of the original stuff I've replaced and a set of chrome wheels with "moon" hubcaps that came on the truck. I reserve the right to sell the truck to local buyers prior to expiration of listing . If you want to look at or drive the truck before bidding, I urge you to make arrangements sooner rather than later. We all have busy schedules. In case you can't tell from the photos, this is a long bed version.
