- rebuilt power steering units
- rebuilt all the units related to the power brakes
- All new interior....... seats, foam,door panels,carpet,headliner, paint.Top quality purchased from Dearborn Classic
- many many more
What I would like to do to the vehicle if I were to keep it
- The engine needs to be overhauled within the next couple years. There is some blow-by probably caused by valve guides but not sure.
- Paint and body work would probably be personal choice of mine in the next 5 years.The vehicle is amazingly straight and there are no dents in the bed of the truck. There is one rust spot on the truck near the lower portion of the passenger door. I have purchased the lower door skin if it is required for repair but not sure....not a body guy.

FINALLY
This is an excellent driving vehicle, in town or at freeway speeds. The truck stops straight and true and has plenty of power when asked. This truck has been outstanding vehicle for me over the last 20 plus years and there is no reason why it shouldn't continue. It has amazed me everyday and in many ways, from its drive to its repair-ability and reliability.
