The A/C blows cold & works as it should. The heater core was replaced 1 year ago.The fuel tank in the cab has been removed and replaced with a rear mounted 18 gallon tank; the filler tube is in the box floor. The original gauge in the dash works as the correct sending unit was installed.

A small Stewart Warner tach has also been mounted on the steering column.The 18+ coats of paint is PPG's Admiralty Blue Acrylic Polyurethane.

This pickup handles stops ans accelerates as well or better than it's modern day equivalent.The front suspension system has the original torsion bars adjusted for 1 inch drop and new lowered rear coil springs have been installed.The 15" tires and wheels leave the opportunity for improvement as they are dated & there are far more appealing wheel/tire packages available.
