Located in the South Bronx, truck is in storage at a manufacturing facility. I originally bought this truck as a repair project - then decided it was:
a) too rusty
b) too automatic
and bought an FJ60 instead. It's one of those used vehicles that seems to need one of everything, but I still think its worth saving.
The good news:
-Motor is very healthy, fires right up. Idles solid, runs smooth. Recent dizzy, wires, plugs / valve cover gasket / PCV. No check engine lights
-Starter is about a year old, alt is fairly recent too
-New gas tank under warranty about a year back
-Tires are decent, shocks / brakes about 2 years old
-AC is super cold. Meat locker cold.
-Reasonably low mileage - 160k
-Great stereo - Alpine head unit and Pioneer speakers
-4wd works perfect
-A few mods: Hella H4 lights, tuffy box, Class III hitch, Thule rack
The bad news:
-Truck is rusty... especially in the rockers and quarters. The frame is mostly solid, there are a couple places where I would consider repair - one spot about 1" long ahead of the front ds leaf, and another in the back about 2 spots each 1" near the bumper mounts. Quoted $150 locally to repair.
-Automatic needs the kickdown service performed.
-Steering dampener is totally shot
-Missing interior pieces, smashed driver's mirror
-Torn bolster on drivers' seat
-Front axles seals are leaky... not that bad just yet
-Major exhaust leak ahead of cat
I have some spares I may be able to get my hands on including a same color passenger door and fender. Feel to ask any questions!
