I FLEW DOWN TO SOUTHERN MO. LAST APRIL, FTER BUYING IT ON EBAY. IT BELONGED TO A BACHELOR FARMER. HE BOUGHT IT NEW IN 86 AND THEN BOUGHT ANOTHER NEW ONE LAST SPRING. I BOUGHT IT TO PULL MY 23 FT. CAMPER/RV TRAILER. THE 1/2 TN., USPENSION AND THE 305 V-8 WAS NOT QUITE ENOUGH FOR THE JOB. ONE 25 MILE TRIP AND I FELT LIKE I WAS HURTING IT.I THEN BOUGHT A 3/4 TN., IESEL FORD TRUCK AND THAT WORKED REAL GOOD. I ENJOYED THIS TRUCK FOR THE SUMMER AND THEN PLACED IT IN DRY STORAGE FOR THE WINTER BEFORE THE SNOWS CAME HERE IN MINNESOTA. I LOVE IT AND IT IS NICE TO DRIVE, UT I DON'T NEED IT. THERE IS A REAL GOOD PICTURE IN THIS AD OF THE INNER GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOOR THAT REVEALS THE FACTORY OPTIONS. WHATS UNUSUAL IS THAT THE VINYL DASH IS PERFECT AND NOT CRACKED AT ALL. SHOWS NO WEAR. THE INTERIOR IS EXCEPTIONALY CLEAN EXCEPT FOR SOME DARK SPOTS ON THE CARPET BY THE GAS PEDDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL. NO RIPS IN THE INTERIOR. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY SUBSTANTIAL IN EVERY WAY IN REFERENCE TOQUALITY AND CONDITION. VERY PRETTY, UT BEING 30 YEARS OLD AND HAVING NEVER HAD ANY OBVIOUS RESTORATION WORK OR FRESH PAINT, T STILL LOOKS VERY GOOD, UT IT IS NOT A RESTORED CHERRY. THE BODY HAS SOME SMALL PARKING LOT DINGS AND THE HOOD APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE FADED AND HAS SOME WATER SPOTS THAT I'VE TRIED TO PHOTOGRAPH. THIS TRUCK STILL MAKES HEADS TURN, ITH THE 2 TONE PAINT AND THE BODY TRIM PACKAGE.I HAD SEVERAL ITEMS REPAIRED OR REPLACED WHEN I GOT BACK TO MINNESOTA IN APRIL 2015,,, HAT INCLUDE 5 NEW TIRES,,,CRUISE CONTROL, ,,A/C,,,,MUFFLER AND EXHAUST PIPE,,,COMPLETE 4 BARREL CARB OVERHAUL,,, LONG WITH NEW BELTS AND HOSES. I ALSO HAD A SMALL PETITE,,,NON-INVASIVE RPM GAUGE INSTALLD UNDER THE DASH SO I COULD MONITOR THE RPMS OF THE MOTOR WHILE UNDER OPERATION AND PULLING. THIS THING IS READY TO DRIVE AND ENJOY. SMOOTH, UIET, ND PEPPY, ND STABLE IN EVERY WAY. I HAVE AROUND 45 PICTURES OF THIS IN MY E-MAIL STORAGE PERTAINING TO EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK AND WITH YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND A PUSH OF A BUTTON, CAN SEND THEM TO YOU FOR YOUR INSPECTION. I WANT $500 GUARANTEED FUNDS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE AUCTION AND THE BALANCE IN 7 DAYS OR A GOOD EXPLANATION. WHEN ALL FUNDS HAVE CLEARED YOU CAN HAVE THE TRUCK. I'LL GLADLY ASSIST IN ANY WAY I CAN TO MAKE THE TRANSFER EASY. I CAN HELP LOADING OR I CAN DRIVE IT TO MPLS. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OR EVEN FARGO AIRPORT.
