Vehicle Detail
This fun truck has been my daily driver for most of the winter up to now. It started with no problems in temps as low as 41 below. ( Thank god the heater works! ) I purchased it from a guy here in Montana who got it from his Grandfather. It is a great driver with almost everything redone. As you can see most of the body work has been done. It has had new rear cab corners, cab steps, and minor dings repaired. It does still need final sanding and final prep. ( most people say NO don't paint it, I love it just like that, just clear coat it. ) It does need drivers side floor pan repaired or replaced. The motor was a complete rebuild. generator rebuilt - new regulator - new wiring - starter rebuilt - 12 volt - radiator - all new belts - new hoses - new battery - new clutch - trans gone through - ( I have a 4 speed floor shift if desired ) brakes work as good as any thing on the road. It has new tires. all gauges work as do the lights and wipers. radio with sub under the seat. I have a good windshield to go with it to replace the existing cracked one. I do not have replacement glass for the side window or wing vent since those are something i had planed to replace with new tinted glass witch is easy to buy at a reasonable price. The new bed is built great and finished with exterior urethane and has no sign of weathering. Truck steers great with no excess steering play and you can take your hands off the wheel and it goes straight as an arrow. I do have the front bumper and grill in good condition. THINK HARD ABOUT THIS----90% OF ALL PEOPLE WHO BUY A NON RESTORED VEHICLE WILL NEVER GET IT ON THE ROAD AND MOST WILL NEVER EVEN GET IT 40% DONE EVEN IF IT IS 35% DONE WHEN THEY BUY IT. THEY WILL LOSE MONEY FOR TRANSPORTING, PARTS PURCHASED, AND A LOT OF WORK. YOU CAN BUY THIS TRUCK AND DO ALMOST NOTHING OR FINISH WILE YOU DRIVE IT. I WAS GOING TO JUST FLAT BLACK IT WITH RATTLE CANS VERY CHEEP AND WOULD LOOK GREAT WITH THE RED WHEELS BUT WANTED TO LET EVERYONE SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE INSTEAD IF WONDERING IF IT WAS BUILT OUT OF BONDO AND PRIMED TO HIDE IT. BUY SMART AND HAVE FUN INSTEAD OF BUY STUPID AND WORK HARD AND HAVE NO FUN. One more note, it always costs less to ship a running truck than a dead truck. MORE PICTURES TO COME !!!!!!!! please feel free to contact me Rick (406) 570-7770 THANKS
