This truck has some minor rust and various dings and scratches. Overall, it is a nice solid truck for as old as it is. This truck ALWAYS draws a crowd, even if you are only going to the gas station! THIS TRUCK IS BUILT, NOT BOUGHT!!!!! This truck has been a labor of love. It started out as a completely stock truck that barely made it home and ended up as the baddest truck on the street, and off-road, in the city I live in. I feel like a rock star every time I drive it. People stare, honk and give me the thumbs up every time I drive it. I am an ASE Certified Mechanic and a trained welder. I did all the work to this truck, except the exhaust (a good friend did it for me). All parts that have been fabricated were fabricated by me. They were built properly and then over-built for safety and reliability. You really have to drive this truck to fully appreciate it. I spent 4 years of my life building this truck, and am now unable to enjoy it due to physical limitations. I built this truck to have fun with, and I would rather see someone else appreciate it than have it sit in my driveway 24/7. The truck has never been in the mud, because of my health issues, but I have played with it in the snow, which was AWESOME! I know someone out there will love this truck as much as I have, and use it the way I intended to!This is is a monster truck, and needs to be driven like one, safely. Once a lift kit has been added to a vehicle, it doesn't handle the same as a regular vehicle. It may not be legal to drive on the road in all 50 states- check state laws before you go breaking any! Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. This truck is MASSIVE, it stands 10 feet 6 inches tall at the top of the stacks. If you plan on sending a flat bed to pick it up, you may want to have them bring smaller tires and change them out. The truck will be too tall and hit the power lines. It also will not fit on a normal car trailer. If you plan on driving away in this truck, keep in mind that it gets around 7-8 mpg. It will get where it's going, but it just may cost you a lot in gas! Truck is being sold as-is. I have done my best to accurately describe it, and even though there are many new parts, it's a 34 year old truck! Serious bidders only! If you have less than 10 feedback, please contact before bidding, or your bid will be cancelled!Non-refundable deposit of $250 via paypal is required within 48 hours of close of auction. Deposit is non-refundable in order to cover ebay's fees should the buyer not complete the sale. If you have any questions, or would like additional pictures, please don't hesitate to ask. May consider partial trades for things including, but not limited to, an '05 or newer fuel efficient car with low miles and harley davidson motorcycles. Keep in mind I am an ASE certified automotive technician and I DON'T WANT ANY JUNK...however, when it comes to the harleys, I may accept a project bike on partial trade. Please message me with any partial trade offers you may have. I will give ALL of them consideration! THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!!
