This truck is in running condition. It has been stored for most of the past 20+ years, and time hastaken its toll. It runs rough at idle and probably needs a tune-up. This truck was made for show. It looks gorgeous but is not in a condition for highway driving orfor most public roadways. Itcould use a number of things to make it road-worthy. The frontsuspension could be raised with air suspension or appropriate other. For steering, the pad could be replaced by U-joints, and powersteering addition would be nice. Also the headliner started sagging. It has been glued in place but should probably be replaced. Theradiator needs an overflow reservoir. Some of the chrome is somewhatpitted especially in the underside area. But, most of it cleans upand looks pretty good.

If you're interested in this truck,DO NOT expect to drive it on public roadways until it is made moreroad-worthy. This was built for show.
