Knuckles starting to leak just a little bit, visible grease/dirt
mix build-up, do not know when the axle service was last performed. No
birf soup mix in the the knuckles or interior axle gear oil though
Glove box catch is broke, it will flop open to the ground if you let it
No rear third seats (could be good for some)
One key
Leather seats are in less than fair condition, but not horrible.
Passenger front is in worst shape, stitching is coming apart on seat.
Repainted at some point, no clear-coat was applied, starting to
flake in a few spots
Passenger side rear quarter panel was taken off and put back on
incorrectly, rear bumper tilted up a little
Battery does not have a tie-down bar on it

of the AC/heating controls
Drivers side sun visor is not original, but functional
cracked windshield
rear axle seal needs replacing.

194k on the clock

if you are interested and would like tor see/drive it, please
let me know. i would be asking about $8k for it if i had the seals done. i
am open to offers since i know it needs a few hours in the garage.

It is an amazing vehicle that i wish i didn't need to sell. i was in the
process of building it up for an expedition to south america.

i'm also open to partial trades with cash. i like old trucks, cars and motorcycles, but i will listen to all offers

thanks

Not trying to hijack your thread but as a seasoned business owner I would strongly suggest that you don't sell your hobby just for a business. Small business is very hard if you make it, you make it if you don't, you don't 9 out of 10 businesses don't last 3 years and of the 1 left 9 out of 10 of those don't last another 5 years after that. You will be really mad that you sold all the things that are fun and all you have left is your stupid business and never ending work..... read the E-Myth. I sold all my cool stuff to start my business and now I spend all my free time trying to get my cool stuff back. By the way your truck is sweet. :) I am in the process of finding one to build right now. Good luck with the sale.
