isuzu diesel pup 1981 long bed
1981 Isuzu Other Description
1981 Isuzu P'up diesel long bed.I purchased the truck with a thrown timing belt and broken rocker arms.New timing belt and injector belts replaced.Good used rocker arms located, checked and installed, valves adjusted.New thermostat and sending unit replaced, but non-functioning temp gauge. Owner states it never worked.
New clutch came with vehicle, also installed.Included is 1 good used injector pump, exhaust valves, few misc items and several oil filters.AC works up to the point of needing recharging, and dash switch issue solved.
New bearings installed in fan belt idler pulley.It was legal 2 years ago, lights, horn, blinkers all function.Parking brake holds.Nothing missing in engine compartment.All parts present, down to the air filter snorkel (not pictured) and factory jack.Some rust in cab top, covered with gorilla tape, some rust in bed front from cattle-support products.Not banged up and beat up, but has some minimal sheet metal battle damage.
Has squeaks and rattles, gutless power, yet goes down the highway really well.... if you're not in a hurry.Original injection pump set a tad rich......trails gray haze at road speed (perfect fueling for low boost).Had plans to add a low-boost turbo and run it on refined waste oil (more BTU than diesel, better mileage than diesel) and install power steering (manual steering).Instead, I have a Cummins 12valve to experiment with now...
Great little beater.I hauled 800lbs of lumber 60 miles and the fuel gauge dropped the width of the needle.Previous owner used it to distribute hay and feed to livestock, idling through pastures in 1st/2nd gear.1st owner had it for highway mileage duties.I have a professional automotive shop, and have serviced this truck for the last 20years....happy to say it needed very little service work through its whole life history.
Auction winner is to pay $500 pay pal at auction end.Remainder to be paid in cash upon pick up or wired directly with no fees to me.90 day free secure storage if needed.There is a local flatbed service for immediate short-haul delivery (300/500 miles?).Shipping arrangements must be taken care of by new owner.I have clear title and transfer documents.Sold where is as is.Poth, Texas 78147
Thanks.No cut-throat offers.I don't have to sell it....Happy bidding.
