The time has come to sell this truck. 350 engine, 5-speed manual trans, owned for 1 year, spent all the rest of its life in TX. I have a printed CARFAX to verify, or you could just look under the thing and see that theres no rust AT ALL.
NEW PARTS IN LAST YEAR: Windshield, inner & outer tie rods, idler arm, front brake pads & hoses, wheel bearing repack, front shocks, plugs, wires, ECT sensor, EGR valve, IAC, wheel alignment, regular oil changes.
THE GOOD: Rust free! Only some surface rust from where a ladder rack was once mounted, and chrome on front grille is shot. AC works, only blows cool, but converted to R134A, and I have a spare can sitting around. Has grille guard and tool box.
THE BAD: Big dent in pass side bed from previous owner hitting a pole at a gas station. Cloth on dirvers seat worn through. Speedometer reads off about 8-10 mph @ highway speeds due to rear axle being swapped out in the past. Has cruise control, but not working. I think the stalk is bad. Some play in steering gear box. Can be adjusted out, I have the procedure, but not the time to drop the box and do it. Engine burns/leaks some oil. Varies with temperature and load on the engine. I just make sure to keep it topped off. Odometer shows 320,000 miles, but true mileage is unknown due to rear axle. The engine is a replacement, this truck originally had a 305. It has the correct chip in the ECM and the 55 lb/hr injectors. Runs good.
Pics are available, PM or e-mail for them. I drove this truck on a 500 mile round trip a month ago without issue, its dependable. Bought a 4x4, don't need this truck any more. I have records of all service I have done to this truck. Title is clean. Asking $1600.
