This is a nice truck. Came from a Ft Collins CO estate. Wasn't driven for a while, but we got it running pretty easily. New belts and hoses. New alternator. Fuel tank cleaned out. New door panels from a later model Gladiator. Runs good, but you'll need to drive it for a while to do full assessment. I have only driven around my neighborhood, and mostly in 2 wheel drive. I have shifted to 4 Hi and 4 Low, just to know it goes there. Gets shaky when building up speed in 4wd. I am not expert in vintage 4wd, so I don't know if there is some bring-it-back-to-life maintenance that's required. Tires not good. Small bodo spots on the truck, but you can see that they are result of no major collision. Very straight. Very little rust. Rust spots are - pinhole left rear box corner. 2 small holes on sides of tailgate. rust on the gas filler tube cover in the front left of the box. Drive it with the patina, or restore it to pretty. Good solid runner to start with. Speedo not working so no idea of mileage. Engine does not smoke or indicate other signs of weakness. Solid clutch and brake pedals. Headlights were working, but looks like they are intermittent. Doors latch and windows roll nicely. Latch and regulator replaced on driver side. You can buy a cheaper one, but its gonna be rusty or dented or both. You'll be chasing all over for straight body parts. You'll spend the starting bid price of this one in a week at the body shop, and you'll always have a patched-up bondo truck. Straight metal is the SMART investment choice!
