Frame, crossmember, footwells, bulkhead all solid. Doors good as well. Driver rear door was some crust and the bottom of the rear cargo door isn't so hot. Body is pretty straight. A minor bump here and there. Nothing head turning or crazy.
Truck runs really, really well. It is very responsive off the line and gets going in a hurry...more so than the 4.6 v8 I am driving now. All fluids and belts replaced on motor. Starts and runs exactly as it should.Tires are brand new, less then 50 miles on them. Frame is solid. Some surface rust and peeling paint here and there but no rust or rot anywhere. Cargo rear door bottom has some crust and the middle row driver door has a small hole. The rest are intact. Entire interior is bed lined. Both foot wells were cut out and new parts from Rovers North were installed. Interior seating is clean. No rips or tears and it looks like new. Radio / CD player work. All new VDO gauges installed. The tint on the outside was good but not so good on the inside.I had the tint removed and the glass has a slight factory tint.If someone really wants tint, I can have it reinstalled at my wholesale cost.Peopel underestiamte the work and skill it takes to perform a conversion such as this properly. The Master tech that did this conversion is a perfectionist who knows his stuff. Drive this away wtih complete confidence.
Inall, this truck was a fairly worn rescue vehicle that has turned out very, very nice with a fair amountof work. Runs great and has solid power. Great daily driver, off roader or road tripper. Let me know if there are any questions. This is a nice rig for sure.
