This is your atypical awesome farm truck. It's a 1973 W200 with four wheel drive, a 318, and a granny gear 4-speed (manual transmission). It has Dana 44 and 60 axles (eight lug), both of which lock for positraction; they are also geared appropriately for the tire height. The engine runs great, but is indeed old; it burns a bit of oil, and it leaks, but it is totally dependable. It does not smoke, but the valvetrain can clatter a bit when it's hot. All driveline components work excellently; I use the four wheel drive at least once a month, and have installed new Warn premium hubs. The transfer case, transmission, clutch, and axles are in great shape, from the center sections to the brakes to the drive shafts. The following parts have been replaced in the last 2.5 years or so: steering box, carburetor, intake manifold, muffler, front hubs, rear drive shaft, u-joints, brakes, alternator, stereo. There's probably something else... The tires/wheels: 37x13-inch Toyo Open Country (50-65% left) on 17 inch aluminum rims. Suspension: 5.5 inch blocks in rear/6-inch springs in front. Shocks are so old (but work) that I can't tell what they are anymore. I've only had the truck about two years... This truck rides very smoothly and quietly, and is very comfortable on the freeway. Everything works, from the lights to the heater; it has power steering and brakes, and turns and stops with minimal effort. It'll get you about 10-12 miles per gallon... The floor pans in the cab have some rust, but if you want this truck, you should be handy. The glass is all good, and the bed is solid. I have mainly used this truck for things like firewood, gravel hauling, and trips to Home Depot, along with four-wheeling around my property, with the occasional 100-mile round trip. It rides like an old pickup, and can easily haul a ton in the bed. I've just gotten a new pickup to consolidate vehicles a bit, so this one has to go. The truck makes fans everywhere it goes. Feel free to ask questions.

This is a true California truck, and the frame is very solid, with no rust or damage. The only rust I've encountered is either in the cab (see pictures of floor) or just light surface. Enjoy.
