The truck is a daily driver and has 103,000 original miles!!!
I'm selling because I just bought a new car and it's time to say goodbye to this piece of nostalgia. I will miss the handiness of this vehicle which is great for hauling yet still good on gas. This truck is a gas powered 5 speed manual transmission. I am the third owner and the vehicle has been in California for it's life with virtually no rust and a very straight body. No accidents!
I did a custom job on the dash by placing a panel of teak along with some rope trim to replace the cracked vinyl dash.
The downsides: Mostly interior work. The headliner should be replaced along with the interior door coverings. Drivers side window hardware needs to be replaced in order for it to roll down properly. These are easy fixes!
I have receipts for the following parts I have replaced:
- timing Belt
- alternator
- hydraulics
- battery
- waterpump
- cassette player
- windshield wipers
- tie rods left axle assembly
- shocks
- motor mount
- fuel pump and lines
- new tires
