Vehicle Detail

Read entire description before bidding:I am not the original owner. I bought this truck to do yard work with and haul mulch around. It has been very reliable over the last two years. I have taken it on many long distance drives over the last two years as well - over 800 miles round trip. Recently the truck started to buck a bit on the highway and seemed to misfire. If I turn of the overdrive the problem clears and the truck seems to run and drive fine. It idles perfectly smooth and the 4x4 works perfectly. The truck does not burn oil. I am not going to put money into this above and beyond the recent work done to fix the problem (read below for work done). As you can see from the pictures, the passenger side has some body damage but it is not bad for what it is. The driver's side is fine with very few body dings. At some point before I bought it the truck was repainted so the paint shines nicely when detailed as do the wheels and rims. The wheels are bigger than standard and the truck has a nice look to it. The tires are in great shape and should last a long time. I bought them for this truck new. I removed the headliner and carpet from the cab to eliminate the oders from the previous owner and I painted the floor with a heavy bed liner and installed heavy rubber floor mats. I also put a steering wheel cover and seat covers on as you can see from the picture. All electronics including the stereo work as they should. the air blows so cold I cant leave it on high. Same with the heat.one other problem that I know of is the master brake cylinder gives out from time to time and the peddle needs to be pumped a bit. easy fix. I do want to also point out that the steering wheel is not perfectly centered when driving in a straight line. The truck does not really pull to one side so probably needs an alignment. Never bothered with this as it didn't bother me. The dashboard above the steering wheel is cracked but. This is a work truck... don't expect it to be perfect in any way. What I did to the truck over the last 3 months (while trying to fix it up):-Replaced the radiator-new wires, plugs and distributor cap + rotor-new coil-new battery end caps-new 02 sensor-new crank shaft position sensor-new water pump and pulley tensioner-new thermostat-new brake pads and cylinders in the rear on both sides-new front windshield (old one was cracked) Again, this truck looks great when cleaned up, runs well and idles fine. The engine is strong. The truck develops a bucking above 50mph which I think may be related to the transmission. It clears if you hit the over drive button.At this point I am not spending money to fix it up.If you know these trucks and have the ability to work on it, it would be a great one to fix up. It is strong, clean and pretty much rust free. Let me know if you have any questions.Thanks, On Sep-17-13 at 10:23:45 PDT, seller added the following information:In the first picture, the fender and hood seem not to line up, I had the hood unlatched. Sorry about that. They line up perfectly when the hood is latched.On Sep-21-13 at 14:24:27 PDT, seller added the following information:Just to be clear, the overdrive switch when deactivated prevents the transmission from shifting to the highest gear, it holds a lower gear which helps with the bucking and transmission issue that the truck appears to have. It by no means fixes the problem. It simply doesn't allow the truck to shift to the high gear that seems to be part of the problem.
