This truck is in very nice condition. I have a clear title for this truck in my possession. The paint was rather neglected and it definitely needed a repaint, so that is precisely what it got! There was no rust or other corrosion on it, but the paint condition required me to strip the hood, tailgate and left rear door to bare metal, reprime with DP74 primer, (the best automotive primer made in my opinion) and then repainted with urethane basecoat / clearcoat. I decided to paint it two tone to hopefully help with heat absorption in the sun as well as add a bit of custom class to it. This truck is in good condition but it is used with 210K miles, so it isn't perfect, so don't expect it to be. It has the virtually bullet proof and very long lasting 7.3 liter diesel engine in it and it runs very well! And, it doesn't need any diesel exhaust fluid!! The transmission is a 6 speed manual and shifts good and the clutch is in good shape and doesn't slip. I have tried to make sure everything works as original, so I have replaced or repaired several items including: new windshield, windshield wiper blades, cup holder, glow plug relay, upper and lower ball joints, front brakes, factory stereo, front tires, cab and box side marker lights, and I re-polished all of the aluminum wheels. I took a picture with the engine running and warm so you can see the oil pressure at an idle when warm. Even though I haven't owned this truck since new, I am confident that it has had very good maintenance. It has air conditioning that works great, cruise control, AM / FM CD player, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power steering, power brakes and a clean interior in good shape. I used it on one occasion to tow my 34 foot fifth wheel camper and it was awesome! The power of the 7.3 liter diesel engine and having the 6 speed transmission was fantastic for towing and the driveability was great! There are rails in the bed for a fifth wheel hitch, a goose neck hitch, and the bed has a spray in bedliner in great shape. It also has a 2" receiver hitch. This thing was built to tow! So, with all that said, this is a used truck and is being sold as is with no warrantee. I know of only one thing that needs attention: the rear tires are okay but will need replacement soon. There are a few very minor imperfections in the body and as I said earlier, there was no rust. Honestly, with new back tires I would drive this truck anywhere!
