THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN A FIRE DEPT ALL IT'S LIFE TILL I PURCHASED IT THIS SPRING. IT WAS USED AS A GRASS FIRE RIG SO WAS ONLY USED IF THERE WAS A GRASS FIRE OTHER WISE JUST SAT IN THE FIRE HALL.NEVER SEEN SNOW OR SALT. IT HAS A 400 2 BARREL ENGINE,AUTOMATIC,4:11 GEAR RATIO,DUAL TANKS ( BOTH WORK )NICE TOW HITCH, 4X4 ( WORKS GOOD )SPOT LITE ( DOESN'T WORK AND I'VE NEVER LOOKED INTO IT COULD JUST BE A BULB OR FUSE ) IT HAS A NEW RADIATOR,NEW P/S PUMP. IT'S A NICE OLD TRUCK, CLEAN FOR IT'S AGE, ABOUT THE ONLY RUST IS IN THE BOX WHERE THE WATER TANK SAT ,SO IT WILL NEED A FLOOR KIT IN THE BED OR JUST PUT IN A BED LINER AND USE AS IS. IT HAS OVER LOAD SPRINGS IN THE REAR (DUE TO THE PUMP AND TANK IN BOX DURING FIRE SERVICE) FRONT FENDER AND BUMPER HAVE DAMAGE FROM A DEER HIT, HAS SOME HOLES IN ROOF THAT HAVE BEEN SEALED FROM WHEN LITES WERE REMOVE, INSIDE DOOR PANELS ARE LOOSE BUT NOT A BIG ISSUE, HAS A CD PLAYER AND 2 DOOR SPEAKERS BUT THEY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. HAS A HIGH IDLE SWITCH TO BUMP UP RPM,WATER TANK LEVEL GAUGE STILL IN DASH AS IS A SPOT LIGHT FOR PAPER WORK ( BULB IS BAD THOUGH ) I PUT ON ALUM DIRECTIONAL RIMS WHITH 33 INCH TIRES THAT ARE IN DECENT SHAPE. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SELL BUT NEED TO PAY A FEW BILLS SO THAT IS THE ONLY REASON IT'S ON E-BAY. OVER ALL THE TRUCK IS REALLY NICE AND SHARP LOOKING THE WAY IT IS. IT IS A COLD BLOODED TRUCK TO START, YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL A BUNCH BEFORE TO TURN THE KEY. COULD USE A TUNE UP ONE OF THESE DAYS . IT DOES HAVE LITTLE MINOR DINGS HEAR AND THERE AND SOME SCUFFS BUT WHAT DOES ONE EXPECT FOR A TRUCK OF ITS AGE . I USE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS, IT'S A BALL TO DRIVE AROUND AND A NEAT OLD HEAD TURNER,I'VE PUT ABOUT 2000 MILES SINCE IVE OWNED IT. IF IT DON'T SELL I WILL BE PUTTING IN STORAGE FOR THE WINTER.
