This truck is a real awesome truck for anyone seeing where these markets are going on these years of pickup, as well as someone who just wants a cool truck as is to run around. It cruises down the freeway at 70 mph no problem and rides comfortably. Being that is is factory loaded it is a very desirable configuration for any owner. Hard to find in this type of condition with no restoration done. These trucks are skyrocketing in value and I wouldn't sell this one but I have too many other projects in the shop that are demanding my time. Perfect candidate for a restore with the condition and status it is. But again, just hop in it as it is or do few cosmetic things to it and use it just for driving around. Truck rides nice, sits great, and a unique and cool vehicle.
