Gasoline

Driveline. The 2.25L four-cylinder gas motor is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Truck is geared to permit a top speed of around 65mph on flat roads in fourth. High-low transfer case help down gear the truck to climb the mountain of your choosing. Motor has a zenith carburetor, and flicks to life easily. Odometer shows 18,270 KM; our assumption is that’s 181,270 KM, or 73,000 miles. Gearbox shifts beautifully; no signs of grinding. Exterior. Truck wears bronze green paint under a white roof with matching wheels. Paint presents beautifully. Not show quality, but certainly a lovely truck. Truck is rust free. Bulkhead, floors, doors, and chassis are all beautiful. Driver and passenger door were replaced in early 2018, along with all window components. They shut and slide like new. Lights, signals, and horn all function as intended. Truck currently wears a matching set of BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A tires with lots of life left. Interior. Currently configured to seat two, the truck has black vinyl upholstery. Truck is equipped with seatbelts. The interior is largely original, with a diamond-patterned white headliner providing a subtle, up-market look to the otherwise spartan Series interior. The Series interior has a manual throttle, along with a few gauges and switches. It is otherwise functional; designed to keep you focused on where you’re going. We hope this one stays on the road where it belongs.
