Equipment & Options
The truck is equipped with every single factory option except for the two tone paint. It is also equipped with most of the available dealer installed options including the security system. It is a fully functioning truck that I would, and have, driven anywhere.
I approached the repairs & restoration with the intention of keeping the truck for a long time but was able to locate the correct year/color truck I had ordered new and purchased that truck which I will be restoring next – that’s why this one was so thoughtfully gone through and why it is being sold.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and displays history in Connecticut from an initial entry in January 1998 with a gap in updates between1998 and 2009. Documentation provided with the car shows regular maintenance and mileage updates during that time.
The truck does retain a Connecticut title made out in prior owner’s name signed over to the current owner on the back with accompanying bill of sale & estate documentation. It is registered in a state that does not issue titles for vehicles over 10 years of age, it is being sold on its Connecticut registration & prior title.
