All photos were while the truck was running and I did activate the lights in one.On May-15-14 at 09:57:01 PDT, seller added the following information: EDIT #2 After receiving quite a few emails, here are some more tidbits of information. 1. The truck is capable of modern highway speeds. It will cruise along with traffic in 4th/OD high at 75mph with no strain on the motor. The truck feels far more comfortable in the 45mph range. The wheels and tires haven't been balanced and there is a slight vibration in the steering in the 50-55 mph range. I would not recommend any long distance trips however. It's been a long time since any major component has failed or has been replaced and the truck has not been stressed in that manner in a long time. 2. The truck has a very stiff suspension, so do not expect a soft ride unless you have serious weight in the bed. 3. The tank and fuel filler neck are original and do not leak unless overfilled. I haven't filled it to capacity in a long time because I generally only take it 20-30 miles. There are two fuel guages, but neither is connected. I also have a new sending unit which has not been installed which will be provided. The tank has been patched due to bottoming out on a trail some years ago. 4. It spent most of it's life as a farm and ranch truck where the 4wheel drive was used in a work capacity. It has never been "mudding" or "rock crawling". 5. I've tried to drive it at least once a month since I've owned it, so it has not sat idle. 6. It is currently registered as a "Former Military Vehicle" in the state of Texas. 7. I also have the original bridge crossing plates which will be provided. 8. It does have seat-belts, but they are just lap belts only. 9. The last repairs that were required were the water-pump a couple of years ago, and a new electric fuel pump last year.
