Here is a very sought after truck that is getting really hard to find, especially a rust free 4x4 that has been in Arizona since new. This truck is striking in appearance with it's original Light Jade color and the contrasting white roof on the cab. Aside from the obviously upgraded BF Goodrich Mud Terrains on the custom slotted alloy wheels, this truck is almost original in appearance with no body modifications. The body is straight and clean and has had a fairly decent quality refinish at some point in it's life, there are no major dings, dents or scratches on the truck. The bed has a spray in liner and it does not appear that this truck has seen any rough service as the bed is quite straight. Glass is ok, the windshield has a crack way up high on the passenger side (can negotiate that replacement in the deal) and the sides as well as the sliding rear glass is tinted. The interior is very clean and does not have any smoke, pet or musty odors, it smells clean and is in great shape, dash pad is decent, original headliner and visors are intact and the cloth seat is in excellent shape with no rips tears or excessive wear. This 4x4 is equipped with a strong 351 Cleveland V8 mated to a 3 speed automatic transmission. The truck runs and drives well, it holds the road good considering it's a 38 year old classic truck! It does not smoke or appear to burn any oil, engine is smooth and powerful and the transmission feels good also. The air conditioning works and blows cold air although the compressor is quite noisy, may need the clutch serviced. Mileage reads 13636 currently but it is unknown wheter that is 113636 or otherwise so it will be sold as 'exempt' or box 'c' on the clean, clear unbranded AZ title. In all, this is probably one of the most solid trucks available right now, the only corrosion on the truck is the metal fuel tank protector or shield under the gas tank. This part typically collects water from washing and stays trapped causing it to rust but that can be replaced if you are picky, the body and undercarriage are all devoid of any rust, it's in good shape. Please take the time to review the 40+ photos below including several of the undercarriage and underside of the body where you can see how solid this beauty is. I feel my asking price of $12900 is fair however I may be able to bend ever so slightly to a serious buyer who will give her a good home. I am happy to assist with transport, please call me directly if you have any questions at (602)769-7133. Thank you for looking.
