I'm sure theres a few other things i'm not mentioning but you get the idea. Its pretty much loaded down with everything.
The Good:
Truck is totally reliable. Does not smoke or loose a drop of oil. Trans shifts perfect and also doesn't leak fluid at all. Drives straight and rolls smoothly. Brakes are very smooth and do not pulsate at all. Very comfy and reliable to say the least.
The Not As Good:
Needs EGR Valve. It doesn't hurt the truck in any way other then its not using the emissions bull crap. Either replace it or take it off. Not a big issue so i haven't bothered with it.
Passenger Door needs slammed to shut. Probably needs adjustment but once again if its not a major problem then i don't fool with it. I'm way too busy to fix anything unless its a driveability issue. lol
Rust: The driver door has it pretty bad on the bottom. Its also got a few lil spots trying to come up here and there, etc. The usual for a vehicle this old.
Paint: The paint is not good. Its been rattle canned all over pretty much. Doesn't look bad considering that but still just letting you know its not a show truck.
Body: The body has been fiberglassed all over. The driver side rear to taillight has alot of work done to it. It wasn't done well though so it obviously shows. Both front fenders have had work also but its not as bad as the rear that i just explained.
Driver Door Handle is cracked so when you try to unlock it, the whole lock just moves thus not moving the tumblers. The handle itself still works perfect so no worries there. What i do is i just unlock the passenger door and then hit the power lock to unlock the driver door. This is a simple fix though. Just replace the $5 handle.
No A/C. Needs a compressor and a hose or two.
I think that sums up the not so good. All of those things have no affect on driving it or its reliability. Again you'd be surprised how well it runs, shifts, drives, handles, and brakes. This is a great work truck or daily with alot of potential. I just got back from an 8 hour drive to McDowell County to give you an idea of its reliability. Oh yeah and the 4wd works great. Engages super smooth without even a hint of an issue. I've used it on 3 occasions so far and couldn't be more pleased. It engages surprisingly well.
On with the pics now. Any questions just ask.
I've got many more pics but i'm limited to uploading only 5 so below i've included the addresses to many other pics including the ones above. Just click the links to see them. Thanks guys.
