Bought via a dealer from the estate of original owner (farmer) in arid eastern Washington state in 2012. All original, numbers matching rare 4x4 long-bed step side. I executed a complete drive train (engine, transmission, transfer case, brakes, new tires) rebuild in 2013. Edelbrock intake and carb installed at rebuild for better performance (original parts retained and will come with truck). Dual exhaust with stainless mufflers. All glass replaced, interior completely restored to original specs with added sound barrier insulation. Exterior unrestored and maintains original patina. 8740 miles since rebuild. Fully loaded for the time: power steering, power disc brakes, turbo hydra-matic auto trans, 373 ratio rear axle, factory a/c, AM radio (added 3.5mm auxiliary port added for MP3 audio), camper mirrors. Original and working Warn winch. Minor corrosion at the bottom of driver's door. Truck drives like new, strong and smooth with zero creaking.
