1984 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Cloth Description

Up for grabs today is a 1984 Mitsubishi Mighty Max with the factory 2.3 Turbo Diesel Motor. It is a 2wd model. The original motor had dropped a valve into number 3 cylinder so I installed A FACTORY NEW short block with all new pistons,crank bearings etc and a factory new head with valves and camshaft. All parts used were new OEM and not chinese junk. The motor was in my dry storage and purchased at a dealer 10 years ago. It runs great! The clear coat is shot however the truck still rocks the original decals and has a very awesome interior compared to most other mighty max's. The evidence of clear coat shot is hood,roof, and tops of fenders and doors. Flat sides of bodies are ok.
-Motor is new from Japan NOT rebuilt with junk parts and machine shop tolerances that are not right
-Fuel injection pump was rebuilt 50k ago and has been driven with additive being used every time she is fueled up
-Originally equipped with power steering and currently works however drops a drop of oil here and there. Nothing major. It is power steering fluid.
-Originally equipped with A/C however I have not put a belt on and tested it. The compressor does not appear locked up.
-Dash is beautiful with NO CRACKS !
-No holes have been drilled in the bed rails to mount the topper so if you like the look without it as seen in one of the photos, than loose it and theres no damage. Was held on by clamps
-No rust in this trust like most of this age !

-Bucket seats are nice with minimal wear and no tears.
-Carpet is pretty nice with no major signs of wear
-Headliner is only item needing attention in interior and I can have it installed if their is interest in the truck for the price I am asking for no extra charge
-Door panels are in great shape
-Still has original AM/FM radio which works and is a great theft deterent and looks awesome as it keeps the 80's theme!
-The truck will come with all Hub caps even though a few are missing in photos.
-Transmission Shifts great. However there is a low growl while idling in neutral which IS NORMAL FOR ALL THESE TRUCKS WITH KM145 and KM132 transmissions. Even if you rebuild it, it will be back within 5-10k. Has no negative effect on operation. As soon as you push in the clutch it goes away.
-The truck has been driven 8,000 miles since I installed the motor so this was sufficient time to prove it out. Runs very well. No issues starting it in cold or hot weather
-NEW radiator installed when motor was done and trucks runs nice and cool
-The exhaust is straight piped out the back and does need a little attention as there are a few pin holes in the rear section of it.
-There is no Rust in this truck !!!
-All weatherstrips in great shape !
-Seat belts work great !
-All lights work and Lenses are in good shape
-NEVER NEEDS SMOG AS IT IS A PRE- 1998 DIESEL
-The truck comes with camper shell of choice. The white one or the Silver one shown on picture of brown truck. BROWN TRUCK NOT INCLUDED!!!
-I specialize in these trucks and have been a mighty max enthusiast for 25 years. I stock many parts for these trucks.
I DO HAVE A 4wd TRUCK FOR SALE IDENTICAL TO THE BROWN ONE SHOWN IN PHOTOS EXCEPT in original unrestored condition. It has a very nice motor that was rebuilt 40,000 miles ago. In case there is interest contact me.
