Date | Maintenance Action Performed | Description |
Engine Description | Engine runs strong. No cold start problem as is typical with these trucks with pre-ignition pinging (carb rebuilt and distributor serviced for timing). Engine is original, s far as I know and runs extremely well. To be clear, his is believed to be the original 1977 engine built to run with the smog equipment which is currently still atached. It is not a modified engine and is not a race engine. This engine has been kept bone stock, n purpose! I have driven this truck a couple hundred miles since purchased with no issues with the engine or transmission and I have had both professionally reviewed by the experts (I am not a car guy so I take it to a professional shop). Shop with confidence |
1/2016 | Body & Paint Work | Truck completely checked out and refurbished. All body work taken care of. The truck is extremely straight. As there was no major rust of any kind, ue to the truck living its whole life in the California desert, ith zero humidity, now or salt the requirement for extensive body work was minimal. Presence of Bondo is extremely minimal. Bed and hood are strait and in perfect condition. The color of the truck was changed and Chevrolet badges removed. The original color was a similar beige but slightly darker. The bed was not removed from the truck. Paint job looks great for a driver. This is a driver and not a show truck, o don't expect a $10,000 paint job. There are imperfections. |

The dash has also been reshot with the new beige paint. The dash pad has a mark from the installation crew on the passenger's side, as well as the center console (as seen in listing pictures). The detailer used some industrial strength cleaner that affected some of the dye. I have included a new can of dye if the buyer wants to touch up |
