I’ve owned this rig, named “Shorty” since 2015. Bought in Arkansas, and that owner had a lot of the work done on it 20 years ago when he bought it in Northern California.This is a solid driver, and will go anywhere you want it to.Original F.5 engine (unknown miles) with good compressionOriginal H42 4-speed transmission (1st year with the 4 speed)4.10 gearsRear Aussie LockerDUI distributorHeadersWeber 38 carbSaginaw Power steering4 wheel disc brakesSOA suspension with flat springs and Shackle reversal (old school Cali style)Bilstein 5125 shocksFamily roll cageCustom front bumper with 12,000 lb HF winch and synthetic ropeCustom rear bumper with tire carrier and cooler holder35x12.5x15 BFG KM3 tires, over 80% tread leftAluminum American Racing bullet hole wheels with matching spareTrollhole Paki style soft top with Real Steel BowsRear Best Top bench seat, fold and tumble (also removable) bought from Cool CruisersFull extra set of Best Top soft doors (that convert to half doors)Front cloth bucket seats (super comfortable) not sure what they came out of (former owner installed)Runs, drives, and stops well. Speedo is not working (cable needs adjustment), gas gauge not working (sending unit), ODO not working. Rust is limited to rear sill and quarter panels. Tub and floors are solid. Original dash, not all cut up. Frame is very good. Interior paint is original dune beige. Exterior is color matched Rustoleum color (was a faded but bright yellow exterior when I bought it)I have driven this truck all over the southeast, and taken it on many adventures. It’s time to pass it on. I’ll miss it just like I miss my old 45. But I need to concentrate on my 62, and about to have another car in the driveway soon (teenager)Someone buy this rig before I change my mind....!
