I have a whole box of receipts and an alphabetized listing of most all parts with part numbers, cost and sources to purchase replacement wear parts. (brakes etc). This truck is a driver and will scoot down the road with no problem and is fun to drive. Have won several awards at local car shows. Easy to drive on the highway or around town. Fill it up with gas and go anywhere. I probably left out some stuff. Any questions, please ask.
I have a whole bunch of extra stock parts I’ll throw in with the deal.
