Truck was purchased in 2006 and drove it from Las Vegas to CA. Used mostly around town and a couple of trips to Big Bear mountain. Lost interest in 2013 and placed it storage. Unfortunately it was an outside storage so paint got faded. Passenger seat is in very good condition but the driver seat has a tear. Rear folding seat is in very good condition and there's a sturdy lockable storage underneath it. There are minor surface rusts in the usual areas.
Engine is strong and fires up easy. Hesitates at an incline under hard acceleration but should able to rectify by adjusting the carb and/or putting back the mechanical fuel pump. Since I got it back late last year from storage, oil, filter and spark plugs have been replaced. Clean title with current registration, not to mention smog exempt which is big plus for Cali residents.

Nice clean 40, looks like it should make someone happy. You may want to clarify a bit more about the gearing, differentials and lockers. The 4.11 rear diff installed doesn't appear to have an air line going to it, I'm assuming the ARB is in the 4.88 rear diff which is provided loose and the front 4.88 diff installed also has ARB locker?

Thanks. Correct, ARB rear locker is on the 4.88 but the air hose is there. Locker for the front 4.88 is connected. I will post more pictures soon.
 
As promised for your viewing pleasure. Let me know if you guys need additional info and/or photos.
