This is not an easy sale on my behalf. I have owned the truck for four years, one of which I spent in australia. Bought as a californian desert truck, most of the bodywork was not too rusty but the rest of it was hanging and caked in many years of mud. The engine had been very badly fitted and everything else was worn. So the cab and bed have been off. Its had pretty much a nut and bolt rebuild. Engine mounted properly and a new cross member. The braking system has been overhauled and had new bearings and seals where needed, A minimal amount of welding has been done under the cab as thats all it needed and it has been painted and stonechipped. Chassis cleaned back and painted and stonechipped.<br />
Engine electrics are all working, Fuel, temp, generator, oil pressure all working. <br />
Windscreen seal is winging its way from america as well as rear window seal, also locks and fuel filler rubber.<br />
<br />
I am selling the truck as I am planning on leaving the country before the summer is over with no specific date of return!!!. This truck has been a labour of love for me having taken most of my spare time and money for the last two years. I am a welder/fabricator by trade, so all of the welding is as good as I would do for a customer. The outer bodywork looks a bit natty and at some time it will want a bit of attention. Paint is on it purely for protection of the metal underneath, some brush coated some sprayed. <br />
<br />
So basically you are looking at a totally mechanically overhauled vehicle with a 360horsepower engine (from the factory) in about a ton of tuck. The engine is not run in and i"m not insured, but it goes alright.....<br />
It just needs a little attention and will be a really nice truck.<br />
<br />
Things that will want doing form my point of view:<br />
<br />
Side glass in windows is cracked but useable<br />
Engine needs running in and possibly jetting altered in the carb or original carb rebuilt~(provided).<br />
Lighting electrics need to be done(headlight, brake, ind)<br />
weather stripping for the doors<br />
Diff front seal has started leaking, but I will try and sort that when I have time.<br />
