This is an unmolested, original radio truck, been in our family about 8 years. It has a gasoline heater above the cab, front and read air ports, & chains for the tires in the original burlap bags. Odometer does not work but the replacement cable necessary to repair is included. The frame for the rag-top is included, along with the canvas if you'd like, but the canvas is in poor shape. The vehicle runs well, but on the rich side & may require a carb. adjustment. The transmission shifts well and as easily as I understand these beasts are capable of. The radio cab is in very nice shape and has a built in desk, and a 24 to 12 v converter. The radio box reads: Zeppelin-Metall Werke GmbH 7990 Friedrichshafen Dat. 30 3 88. I take this to mean the box was installed in 1988, but I could be wrong. I do not believe the box leaks at all. With respect to rust, it does not appear to me it has had any body work done to it. The only area with rust you should be aware of is below the drivers door on the body. I do not believe there is rust around the headlights as I understand other Unimogs suffer from. Batteries are new a few years ago. Other issues requiring attention: the right rear brake appears to leak a bit of brake fluid, but the air brakes operate and hold pressure well. The water pump has a drip & may require replacement or a new gasket. Overall, I am unaware of any major issues with the truck. We've had plenty of fun with it over the years driving county roads in Northern Wisconsin. It has not been pushed hard since we've owned it or abused. Three of the tires match & one is newer. Tubes have been installed. Shop manuals, owners manual, etc. are included. If you're familiar with these trucks you know they are not daily drivers but are a ton of fun. I've not driven the vehicle more than a few hours at a time & recommend trailering to it's new home. These are such unique vehicles I recommend checking out videos on YouTube to get a better idea of their capabilities. Passenger side of the windshield has a crack. The "uppers" for each door are complete although the plastic-glass needs replacing due to age. Gun racks on dash board & behind front seats, also in the back of radio box. I've described to the best of my knowledge & drove it around the block for fun the other day but it is over 50 years old & sold as is. Please contact me with questions.
