General Condition - excellent

The vehicle is inexcellent overall condition. Itstarts right up and runs very strong. It is 39 years old.

The "Bad":

  • Normal wear and tear includes a few tears on the driver's side upholstery (see photo), driver's side carpet (under the floor mat), paint and clear coatweathering (seen in photos), and I think 1 instrument panel bulb behind the voltage gaugeis out but the gauges are still visible at night.
  • Minimal rust, non-terminal. Surface rust in a few spots on doors and cab.
  • Rear bumper has some dings and dents and is slightly bent on right side, and there are what I would call normal and customary dings and scratches on the truck in the usual places
  • Loose door panel on driver's side (I believe there are clips that can resolve that)

  • Radio (Analogue, original) & speakers working
  • Cruise control, Occasional Wipers (intermittent wipers) and windshield washer pumpworking
  • AC is cold and I used it all summer and the Heater ishot (and works better than most new vehicles)
  • Spare tireis a full spare ingood condition
  • Break controller was working at the time Idisconnected it in May of 2015. Currently it is disconnected.
  • Rear window and both side "wing" windows open, close and latch as they should
  • Breaks, Parking Break, AC/Heat controls, steering, cooling are all working as normal;
