Is it restored???
You can't sell a 45 for $30 without detailed pics and a description of what has been done to the truck, etc.

Four pics and NO description? I don't think so!
 
Not restored. Just the outside painted. Will post more pics when I get it registered and can take it to be washed!! Also more than welcome to come see the vehicle.

Welcome to MUD!

If it's not restored you're in the wrong price range, as-is it's worth about +/- $15K, just my opinion. Pictures pending.
 
I am new to this forum so be patient with me. When you say no description I am not sure what you mean. I wrote that truck was original and only painted. I can't talk about work done to the truck when there was no work done except the paint job. I understand the lack of pics and I will upload them once I get it washed and detailed.

It depends on what you value in a truck. Looks or how strong the truck is. Mine is maybe a 7 or 8 in looks but it hasn't done heavy lifting (gov truck). I have another 82 and if you stand them side by side you can tell which one hasn't been worked. A lot of these trucks are beat up trucks that someone made look really nice. All depends on what you are looking for. And any truck that was sold with original paint is $$ in the Middle East. I have seen restored trucks go for less than trucks with original paint in Africa and Middle East. And everything is original!

I mean can you get OEM leaf springs for a restored truck because I can't. If no one values this one I probably will sell the 82 which has power steering and closer to you price range but not 15.

Thanks for your input.
 
When you can put as many pics up as possible. Engine bay, under carriage any rust if any. Leave out no details for the imagination. How may kms? Any recent work done other than paint job etc...

The guy claimed 70k (km) but odometer doesn't work and I can't verify. No rust. You can see they had some type of tar (floor liner) on the floor pan. Not sure if that was for waterproofing or sound deadening. Anyway steel is in great shape. I will put on my buddy's lift and take pictures soon. The truck is in great condition. Making it look pretty will be easy. Only reason I painted exterior was to make sure it didn't rust getting over here.

Haha you can always get a new set of tires.
 
the tar on the floor is OEM however.....
 
I am not kidding, the tar stuff on the floor really is OEM at least on later models(I want to say 76+)

I asked my dad but he said he couldn't remember. I knew the paint was original so I thought maybe the Saudi government did this to their trucks.
