On Dec-05-12 at 11:31:44 PST, seller added the following information: Thank you for the good questions. I am planning to empty the gas out of the tank because I do not like the way it smells. The truch was stored with about 1/2 tank with a gas stabelizer. I was not planning on storing the truck for 6 years. Therefore it is time to drop the gas, clean the filter, change the oil and spark plugs and get ready for the Truck's new home. The undercarriage is just dusty from sitting in climate controlled storage for the last 6 years. Please, if you need aditional pictures please ask. The only bad queston is the one not asked. this will make a great addition to any collection.

THAT BEING SAID, THE GAS THAT IS IN THE TRUCK IS ALSO THAT OLD AND NEEDS TO BE DRAINED (maybe a tank flush), NEW FUEL FILTER MEDIA (glass bowl on top of fuel pump), NEW SPARK PLUGS (tune up). THE TRUCK STARTS UP EVERY TIME, RUNS AND IDLED BUY BREAKS DOWN AS YOU ACCELERATE. THE OLD STINKY GAS JUST IS NOT BURNING. THE OLD GAS HAS A STRONG SMELL AND I WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE JUST RUNNING IT OUT.THIS TRUCK JUST NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP A LITTLE AS IT WAS COVERED UP FOR 6+ YEARS.
