How is it on the highway? What kind of mileage is it getting? How often does it get driven?

This is beautiful! Ive wanted a 1st gen for a long time but most are rusted to death.

This rig drives flawlessly down the highway and feels extremely steady in the corners. It averages around 20 mpg no matter what, road or trail. It is taken on at least one week long trip in Utah per year and sees some visits to the San Juan mountains in the summer. Not a whole lot of miles put on it each year, but enough to keep the cobwebs out. No rust on this vehicle. That was the main reason for replacing the entire rear panels. If you want a 1st gen you will be hard pressed to find one this clean, with this many mods and the amount of forethought that went in to the build. You could build one like this, but not for $12k.
 
Any more pictures of the interior available? What condition are the seats in? Also, has it passed an emissions test anytime lately? I have to worry about that here in Va. Also, would you drive it from Co to Va? Let me clarify, Im just trying to see if you think it would make it. Im not asking you to do it.
 
More pics are available. Send me a PM with an e-mail address and I will send them out. Interior was reupholstered to match factory, so they are great shape. We don't have emissions testing, but I am sure that it would pass, no strange problems that I am aware of. It would definitely make the trip to Virginia, completely reliable.
 
nice...
 
Good looking truck! Hope you get what you want out of it.
