THIS TRUCK WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER WITH THE INTENT TO BEGIN BUSINESS HAULING MERCHANDISE TO THE EASTERN MONTANA/WESTERN N. DAKOTA AREA. IF, HOWEVER, YOU CAN USE IT, PLACE A BID BECAUSE WE HAVE OTHER TRANSPORT OPTIONS NOW AS WELL. THE OWNER OF THIS TRUCK DID NOT USE THIS AS DAILY TRANSPORTATION, AS INDICATED BY THE EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE. UPON ORIGINAL PURCHASE, HE SENT THE TRUCK OUT TO SEVERAL COMPANIES TO ENHANCE IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, FRONT TO BACK. ALL MODIFICATIONS ARE TOP QUALITY AND MAKE IT ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE, YET FUNCTIONAL 7.3'S AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES. TO BEGIN, THE OWNER KEPT ALL RECEIPTS AND PERTINENT INFORMATION IN A 3 RING BINDER, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL MSRP. MAINTENANCE WAS METICULOUS! IT WAS ORDERED WITH 4.10 GEARS, A CAMPER PACKAGE, AND A TRAILER TOW PACKAGE. AT THE FRONT, A BUMPER EXTENSION KIT WAS PAINTED AND ADDED TO MAKE SPACE FOR A "HIDDEN" 12,000 LB WARN WINCH. THE GRILL WAS ENHANCED WITH A CUSTOM INSERT, AND A CUSTOM, MORE AGGRESSIVE LOOKING HOOD WAS ADDED (THE ORIGINAL FACTORY HOOD IS AVAILABLE AS WELL). A 4" CUSTOM EXHAUST FRONT TO BACK (IT DOES NOT HAVE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS) AND A BULLYDOG PERFORMANCE SYSTEM WITH SEVERAL SETTINGS WERE ADDED. THE TRUCK HAS CUSTOM DUAL FRONT SHOCKS AND HEAVY DUTY (SINGLE) REAR SHOCKS INSTALLED. REAR "LEVELING AIRBAGS" WERE ALSO INSTALLED, ALONG WITH A "SUPER HITCH" THAT PROVIDES TWO RECEIVER SLOTS THAT HELP YOU MAXIMIZE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION/OPTIMUM TOW HEIGHT. IT HAS 6 DEEP TREAD BFG'S AND A CUSTOM REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER. THE BED HAS A SPRAY-IN LINER AND A RUBBER BED MAT. AN EXTRA BAR WAS ADDED AT THE FRONT OF THE BED TO INCREASE WALL STRENGTH. NO STONE WAS LEFT UNTURNED! INSIDE, YOU WILL FIND A CUSTOM ALPINE SOUND SYSTEM, A CB RADIO, CUSTOM TEMPERATURE/MANIFOLD PRESSURE GAUGES, AND A BRAKE CONTROLLER. A NICELY DONE WOOD-GRAIN DASH PACKAGE WAS ADDED, AND THE INTERIOR RECEIVED A FULL CONVERSION. A VCR SYSTEM WITH HEADPHONES WAS ADDED (UNTESTED), AND ALL THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WAS REPLACED WITH VAN-CONVERSION STYLE CARPET AND SEATING (CLOTH) WITH FOLD DOWN CENTER CONSOLES ALLOWING FOR 4 TO 6 PASSENGERS. THERE IS TRULY NOT MUCH ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE TO MAKE THIS TRUCK MORE FUNCTIONAL AND ENJOYABLE (MAYBE UPGRADE THE VCR TO DVD). THE MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN INJECTED INTO THIS PRIME EXAMPLE OF A 7.3 LOVER'S DREAM. AS THE PICTURES SHOW, THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST PRESENT. THE TYPICAL RUSTING OF THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS AND CREVICES OF THE DOOR JAMS IS ABSENT. IT WAS STORED ABOUT 15 MILES INLAND FROM THE COAST AND COVERED FOR ALL OF ITS LIFE (COVER INCLUDED IN SALE) IN COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA. THIS WAS THE PLEASURE TRUCK OF A CORPORATE OWNER, NOT A RANCH MULE. THE TRUCK IS NOT WITHOUT IMPERFECTION. THERE ARE A FEW CHIPS AND SCRAPES ON THE REAR WHEEL FLARES (IN PICS). THEY CAN BE TOUCHED UP AND LEFT ALONE IN MOST OWNERS' MINDS, BUT WE ARE LEAVING THEM ALONE FOR THE NEW OWNER TO DECIDE IF/WHAT THEY WANT TO DO ABOUT THEM. A FEW OF THE CHIPS ARE IN THE CUSTOM PAINTED GRAPHICS. THERE IS AN IMPRESSION AND PAINT CRACKING LEFT BEHIND ONE OF THE CAMPER TIE-DOWNS WHERE THE TIE DOWN LOOKS TO HAVE PRESSED ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE BED MOMENTARILY. THE FRONT WALL OF THE BED IS VERY SLIGHTLY BOWED FORWARD. THERE ARE A FEW CRACKS IN THE CUSTOM HOOD NEAR THE FRONT THAT CAN BE SEEN ONLY WHEN LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THEM, VERY CLOSE. EACH DOOR JAM HAS BEEN KICKED A LITTLE, LEAVING A FEW MARKS, AND THE PLASTIC CARPET COVER/DOOR JAM TRANSITION (RF DOOR) IS CRACKED ABOUT 3-4 INCHES. IT HAS A FEW VERY SMALL DINGS IN THE FRONT BUMPER, AND A DING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TAILGATE (TOP) PICTURES ARE INCLUDED. THERE ARE A FEW CHIPS IN THE CLEAR COAT OF THE TAIL GATE (VIRTUALLY UNNOTICEABLE). IF YOU LOOK CLOSE, THE BILLET GRILL HAS SOME BLACK MISSING ON THE HORIZONTAL SURFACE (CAN'T SEE FROM LOOKING HEAD-ON AT FRONT OF TRUCK). THERE WILL BE A FEW MINOR ISSUES I'VE MISSED, BUT OVERALL, THE TRUCK IS IN AMAZING CONDITION. IT'S HARD TO TELL IF OCCASIONALLY IT HAS A MINOR TIRE BALANCE ISSUE, OR IF IT'S JUST THE ROAD, BUT I WANT TO DISCLOSE THE POSSIBILITY OF A BALANCE ISSUE. THE BRAKES ALSO HAVE A VERY MINOR PULSATION... SOMETIMES YOU CAN FEEL IT, OTHERS YOU CANNOT. THE WHEEL TILTS SLIGHTLY LEFT OF CENTER, BUT THE TRUCK DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A PULL. STEERING STABILIZERS WERE ADDED TO THE TRUCK, SO IT'S POSSIBLE THIS CAUSED A SLIGHT OFFSET. MECHANICALLY, THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DRIVE LIKE NEW AND IT STARTS IMMEDIATELY ON 40 DEGREE LAS VEGAS MORNINGS. THE TRUCK IS IN LAS VEGAS, BUT WILL BE IN THE EASTERN MONTANA/WILLISTON NORTH DAKOTA AREA BY MID-TO-LATE WEEK. EMAIL IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA AND WANT TO VIEW IT. PLEASE HAVE FUNDS READY TO PURCHASE THE ITEM BEFORE BIDDING ON THE ITEM. WE WILL NOT HAVE FINANCING AVAILABLE AND WILL BE LEAVING THE AREA TO CONDUCT OTHER BUSINESS ONCE THE SALE COMPLETES.
