The truck has been refinished in gray with the roof, fender flares, and rocker panels sprayed in black bedliner coating. Features include chrome bumpers, a brush guard, vent windows, a power-retractable rear window, and a tow ball. The sunroof was removed under current ownership and replaced with a metal plate.
Rust bubbles are visible around the front cowl and the windshield, and the roof reportedly underwent rust repair prior to being repainted with bedliner material. The Carfax report shows a Total Loss Vehicle report in December 2015, when “minor damage” to the front and right side of the vehicle was documented; the seller states that the right front fender was replaced as a result; a photo showing the damage prior to the repairs and repainting is included in the gallery below. The seller states that the left front fender was replaced after a collision with a deer in a separate event.
Chrome-finished 15″ wheels are mounted with 31×10. 5″ Savero HT2 GT Radial tires. The truck is fitted with manually locking front hubs, power steering, and power front disc brakes.
Service since the seller’s acquisition is said to have included replacement of the brake master cylinder, the rear brakes and drums, the brake pads, the power-steering gear, and the stabilizer shock in addition to resealing the power-steering pump. The seller notes that the tires are in need of replacement. The interior features bucket-style front seats upholstered in black vinyl with white trim.
Matching door panels are accompanied by a black dash and carpeting. Amenities include a folding rear bench seat, air conditioning, intermittent wipers, a power-operated driver seat, power locks, power windows, a digital clock, and an aftermarket Pioneer CD stereo. The seller notes that the air conditioning blows cool but not cold and that the cruise control and the windshield washers are inoperable.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. The six-digit odometer shows 103k miles, approximately 35k of which have been added under current ownership. The carpeting in the rear compartment has been replaced with wood decking and longitudinal cargo-runner slats.
The headliner and the aluminum backing on the inside of the tailgate also have been replaced. The 360ci V8 was factory rated at 175 horsepower. The engine reportedly was rebuilt under current ownership, a process that involved overboring the cylinders by .
010″, turning the crankshaft . 010″ under, and polishing the cylinder-head ports. Other work has included replacement of the timing cover, belts, hoses, and the A/C compressor.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system with a dual-range transfer case. The transmission is said to have been rebuilt under current ownership, and the rear axle seal and rear pinion seal were replaced. Corrosion is noted on some underbody components.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage and total-loss reports from December 2015 and lists history in Texas beginning with the first entry in 1985. The seller’s Texas title was issued in 2009 and is pictured in the gallery.
