Selling the 40, so I thought I would get it up and listed early. I have yet to do a complete write up of everything, but I will add to this listing as time permits (probably tomm, 1/7). Sorry in advance for the poor write up. I'll get some more pics of the engine bay, undercarriage and inside either later or in the AM. I'll also edit this write up to clear it up some. Send me a message if you'd like to see something specific. The Good: -Good compression and a strong running F engine -Six to one header with aftermarket exhaust (5 years old) -Non-USA, no emission Aisan carb from SOR -DUI/HEI ignition -35x12.5 Kumho Venture MT's on 15 inch aluminum wheels (5 total) -Skyjacker 4" lift (5 years old) -Front disc conversion (brakes) -3 speed transmission on the floor -Tranny shifts fine and transfer case shifts as it should -I added a roll bar that I bought from Specter but I had to relocate the rear bench seats toward the inside about an inch. The '71 has the long bench seats -The interior was reupholstered about four years ago with a pirate theme. The only problem is the guy who did it also did me a "favor" and embroidered a skull and cross bones into the center seat AND each seat has a title: Captain, First Mate, and in the back "swabs" for the kids. Not a biggie but kind of _____. New springs, foam and leather -Old Man Emu and Belton Shackles w/ bushings in stock height, never been installed. -There's a Bose stereo in the glove box, but the speakers were toast, so I tossed them. The unit could probably be replaced when new speaks are added. -New metal (5 yrs) on the rear quarters, done by a local guy using the old ones as a mold. End result is new metal, but kind of off on the dimensions with a smaller rear wheel opening. -I have the original rear tire carrier in great shape, but have lost the mounting brackets. -Poly tank from CCOT holds about 16 gallons of fuel. -One white windshield bumper reduces the drag coefficient by .0021% ;) The Bad: -Speedo cable not working (surprise), so obviously the mileage is incorrect, It sat for a number of years before I bought it. I got it roadworthy and drove it for seven years or so. Unfortunately it has mostly been parked for the past two years because I've been gone a lot. -I kind of just threw the top on it so you can see it's all there. I have most of the parts for a rebuild except the rivet ring and the rear cross bar (upper) support. -Bushings on the shackles are worn out -Clutch weeps fluid -Drips of oil on the drain bolt, but never enough to make a mess or add to it before a scheduled change. The cargo liner under it is from my 100, we needed the third row seats and that was a good place to put the liner while the seats were in use. -The center arm needs to be rebuilt which I already have the replacement, just never installed it. -Between these things, there is play in the steering wheel which means you have to stay on top of it. The shackles and arm would probably eliminate 90% of the wandering. This truck has never had the death wobble!! The Ugly: -Rust, Lower portion of the bib, passenger side fender. Bib can be fixed, but fender should be replaced -Paint job is about a twenty footer, looks decent from there, but closer examination shows it's flaws. -The paint on the sides of the top is rattle can. I removed the rust and just wanted to get something on it while off the truck. Definitely needs to be redone.-Lower rear of the lift gate is rusted through, replacement metal will be needed (I'll post pics of it later) I will help you arrange shipping if needed. I have owned this truck for quite a while, so providing you with space until shipping is figured out is not an issue. On Jan-08-11 at 10:43:25 PST, seller added the following information: I added some more pics this afternoon using a larger format so you could make out the details better. Once I uploaded the new pics, I was going to delete the old ones and replace them with larger pics. Apparently Ebay doesn't allow me to remove pics that were there once it has been bid on. So, if you want me to email you the other pics, let me know. Because the format is so large, it'll probably be three or four per email. Also I remembered: (-)'s Top: The metal that goes under the fiberglass top is toast, you'll need those too when rebuilding it. The sides are about 95% good. On the inner lip there is some rust, but nothing really bad. Needs wipers Carb could probably be tuned but I might be able to get it done in the next day or so. Runs fine as it is (+)'s Engine had a top end build about five years ago Extra radiator shroud Crow double harness seat belts Existing seat belts are OEM and about 7 years old New fuel pump Newer radiator (3 years) The stereo is a JVC Marine unit, NOT a Bose Additional OEM Aisan carbs (2) Red 48" Hi Lift Jack PIAA lights Harness and wiring kit for the PIAA's *I will update the listing again as I remember more of whats been and what needs to be done. I'll also work on updating the pics with the other ones. Thanks again.
