Very good condition,'50's pickup fires up and runs great. I relocated back to Los Angeles and had a transporter bring it here a few months ago. Kept in a garage in downtown L.A. driven occasionally on the weekends. About eight months ago I drove it from Baton Rouge to Houston - about 490 miles with no problems. Gets up to about 90 mph. Midnight blue metallic. Heavy duty rear bumper - I used to use this truck in my house renovation work. Can hold about a 600lb load without issue - has wider tires than original so if load gets too much - will rub on tires. Redid the leaf springs and front suspension. I'm told by mechanic that it has a '84 Chevy V8 motor, delbrock carbs, lectric fuel pump. Power steering, ower breaks, /C blows cold. Sometimes the fan doesn't turn on - I think its a wire but the unit works - I had it re-freoned last summer. Sometimes you just have to turn it off and back on. Interior black bucket Range rover seats- electric and adjustable used to use the adjustments- wired up - they just need to plugged in. I'm not a mechanic - I used Robert Roggiero, race car mechanic in Los Angeles for all the servicing the last ten years I've owned it. Have at least $20k in it. Was originally aqua - when I bought it was a faded red. Bought from some guy in the mountains of New Mexico and brought it back to CA i on trailer in 2005. At that time it had a three speed stick. Now has a B&M shifter on the floor and automatic transmission. You're welcome to call my mechanic for the history of renovations, pgrades, epairs, tc. Damn good, EPENDABLE truck. I drove it just about every day for years (since 2005). But I went back and got a masters degree last year and need to sell to pay off my loans.
