Sigh...
I am beside myself right now.
I didn't buy the truck. It was everything I wanted it to be and everything I didn't want it to be. I bet you will not find a cleaner undercarriage in the north east. But the fender and bumper cover that was replaced was a front end collision to the tune of $12500 including bits of frame, radiator support and wiring harness. The truck was well maintained until 100k or so but seems nothing since. Needs cv's replaced and the driveline is dry as a bone. Power Steering pump is leaking and the passenger valve cover has a bad leak. Brake fluid is black as sin and the ahc was low in the down position. There was also a bit of oil seepage on the drivers rear globe assembly?
The biggest no for me was the interior floor was wet and on the same side as the accident and I have no idea how to fix anything like that and I frankly don't have that much time to fix everything else with as much care as it needs.
The interior is in 5/10 condition well family worn and not cared for. Seats are rock hard from sun damage and cracking a little teeny bit. This owner lifted it with the AHC sensors but I get the feeling it's not right as it won't go to the high setting. The front end is visibly out of alignment but goes down the road ok, could be the way AHC lets the truck down I don't know. The paint on the roof is sun burnt and clear coat is gone.
Overall a great project truck for the northeast but not for my budget. I offered 5k and I felt that was a stretch for me and what I would have to pay to do. Someone go save this rig! Seller is a good dude.
