Vehicle Detail
This has been my daily driver for the last year and a half and gets me the regular thumbs up every where I go . I bought it inland where it spent most all it's life . Sun had baked off paint in bed on hood and spots on drivers side . Inland that's not such a problem but I live on Coast where bare metal can rust through in a couple years so thus the lighter paint and "STILL" solid steel . For you younger guys that may not have driven an old school overdrive , its not just an extra gear . When in , the overdrive works on all gears in that when you take off but don't shift it free rolls instead doing the compression slow down that sucks gas . This really cool for in town driving when your only going a half a block then turning , you don't have to shift or step on clutch to keep truck from doing compression slow down .. you just free wheel . This saves a lot of shifting in town driving .Then on freeway driving it's like a full non-granny 4 speed . You have the manual shift through the standard 3 gears on the tree then when you hit 35-40 lift your foot off the gas and it shifts into overdrive gear automatically witch is very tall geared . There is more difference between 3rd gear and overdrive than between 2nd and 3rd gear ! I have been getting 25 miles a gallon on freeway trips and it drives 75 miles an hour smoothly . Body shows it was a farm work truck got small dings but has no rust through , floor boards still have original paint ! Bottom of front fenders and doors are solid , good candidate for restoration . Door windows can be rolled up and down easily with two fingers . Has new stereo that just hasn't been hooked up . Has new windshield and rubber , new radiator , heater core and water pump , themostat and antifreeze . Has newer head with harden valve seats and been converted to electronic ignition , so no points . And something really cool you can change timing from inside truck while you are driving down the with inside controller . So you can speed up timing a little while on road trip and improve gas mileage or slow timing a bit when towing a load to increase lugging power with out spark knocking . The steering is very tight , no sloppy play and doesn't pull to right or left . Very full brake pedal , stops nice and straight , shifts smoothly . New muffler and comes with 4 stock tires and rims with stock hub caps and trim rings and a stock rim and a very good unmounted tire for a spare in addition to mags and tires on truck . Also included is a cool rear slider window that doesn't have bulky aluminum frame .. fits in widow rubber like stock flat glass but just hasn't been installed . Also includes factory stainless steel rear view mirrors like the painted one's on truck to dress it up just not installed . And lastly it also comes with a fresh rebuilt power steering gear box-pump-lines-mounting bracket to do a full change over to power steering if you are so inclined . 49 years old and Still Truck'n !!!
