NO RUST ANYWHEREon this truck, except minor surface rust in the bed where the liner has scratched, plus some surface rust on the trailer hitch.Floors, fenders, cab, corners, and hood all solid. Painted about 5 years ago in the original orange.No dents but some scratches are visible.

All work completed within last 14 months except paint. Truck has less than 2500 miles on it since work completed. The odometer read about 55,000 when we started though this was likely 155,000. This has been my daily driver since all the work was completed.

It needs a “saddle-tank” style secondary gas tank as the one from the 2wd will not fitbecause it hits the transfer case. The inlet is there as seen in photos. Emergency brake cable needs to be hooked up. The windshield has a crack. Dash has one crack in it (see photo). Chrome trim could be cleaned up.Sound system could use upgrading.Door panels ok but could be replaced. Crank windows work ok but could use registersrebuilt or replaced. Front tires are good but the rear tires will need replaced soon.
