You are looking at a garage stored (when not being used) desert survivor. This truck has never been in a wreck. I bought this truck in 1980 from the original owner. Was purchased new in PHX and has been in AZ its whole life. The only body part that has been replaced is the left side fiberglass fender. A tire blowout took it out. It was replaced with a GM Fender. You read that right, the body is completely GM, not a P.O.S. that sat for 15 years and got restored out of a catalog with garbage parts. When it was repainted 10 years ago the front bumper was re-chromed, not replaced with tin junk. This truck even has the original tire jack and lug wrench. This truck has been maintained, not restored. Being that it is driven it is not perfect but VERY NICE and everything works properly. In 1998 the original engine (at 271k mi.) was replaced with a 1991 4-bolt 454 that was bored 30 and forged pistons were installed. Otherwise built stock. In 2008 the original transmission was replaced with a 4L80E which was GM's heavy duty overdrive before the allison. At that time I installed a GM throttle body injection system and ECM to go with the electronics in the trans. Yes, it does have the ALDL port for diagnostics. This is the classic beauty you want hauling your trailer Queen to the show.The camper is a Tri-Glas industries camper. It has the bed kit with side box storage, custom cabinet with independent stereo, and a high-end "Fantastic" brand vent fan.Here is a list of the toys on this truck::: Tilt Wheel L.E.D.

I have nothing to hide and encourage you ask questions if I have missed something. Either e-mail me through e-bay or call me at 602-228-9420. I am also willing to take more/different pics if you would like. I also would encourage an independent inspection if you are not used to buying a used vehicle and want an impartial opinion. The original cab back window is also included in case you want to take the camper off. For the cost of fuel and a plane ticket home I will personally drive this fabulous truck to you (after full payment).
