I really REALLY hate to sell this truck! I am moving and need the money so here goes. I bought this truck 4 years ago, but according to records, I am the 3rd owner. When I bought it it needed some work, most of which I have fixed. The only issues it has is a leaky power stearing pump, fuel gauge works, but needs wired correctly, 2 fuel tanks, and rusty floor pans and seat belt BUCKLES are missing. Also, it has no tailgate. It came with some really cool information where its original and second owners kept up records on it. First log in the record book is from 3/2/78 at mileage16.6, gallons-10.9, cost$5.90! How cool is that?! These records contain things from fuel ups, tire rotations, tune ups, personal trips, a major entry on 10/19/89 where it states the 100,000 mile mark on odometer at hwy 401 at midway church. where ever that is, so i'm assuming the 5 digit odometer is now 193,000. New timing chain in 1992. Last log entry was 8/97 with a new battery at 64,120(164120). How many of these trucks you gonna find with records like this? AND original owners manual?!?!?!? Its not in show room condition or anything, but VERY good shape for its age. The interior has no carpet, original benchseat, one large crack in dash where speaker used to be, no glove box inside, cb radio and cd player in clock area. Since ive had it, I have replaced, shocks, alternator, clutch, brakes, and new full 2.5" exauhst, as seen in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnmPXYkYZSA&NR=1&feature=endscreen Tires still have 75% life left. 35x12.50 15. 3" lift. 4x4 works great. 360, 2 barrel carb, 4 speed tranny. I drive this truck whenever and where ever I want. I do not abuse it, and hope whoever gets it will take good care of her. Please email with questions. text, or call 843 270 1620. Local pickup only, no shipping but will help with your transporter. Unless you live close, you my want to tow it home, not sure of the mileage it gets, but it isnt good. Cash in person within 3 days auction end, if you need longer a $500 deposit is required. ALSO it is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime.On Dec-22-11 at 09:21:53 PST, seller added the following information: Also, it DOES have factory air and is still intact with belts turning, but does not work and not sure what it needs. It also has cruise controll, but that also does not work. As I stated above, the floor pans are the only bad rust areas and the drivers side may be able to be saved, but the passenger side WILL need to be replaced.On Dec-22-11 at 14:24:52 PST, seller added the following information: People have been asking for more pics of interior and any/all points of rust so be sure to check it out. As I stated, it is NOT a show truck, but still turns heads and gets lots of compliments just as it is.On Dec-22-11 at 19:41:04 PST, seller added the following information: I am also including 4 new ball joints, 2 link connectors, a set of fog lights, and Bully tailgate net. all new. front end parts not needed by the truck, just had them laying around.On Dec-26-11 at 18:59:01 PST, seller added the following information: Ok, ive done some looking all ove the truck and found some more info people have asked for. YES, the original Safety Certification Label is still on the drivers door jam and very clear. The Vehicle identification plate on the firewall reads as follows: SALES ORDER NUMBER J165320 09, PAINT OPTION NUMBER 7C(AUTUMN RED), TRIM NUMBER 7BD, JEEP MODEL NUMBER 2500(J10). The front and rear axles are dana 44's 3.90 gear ratio. Transfer case is a model 20.
