All the lights work, and the headlights are new. The steering is tight and very responsive. There are some rust bubbles on the exterior B Pillars, but it is still stiff and very repairable. Shock towers are spotless. The body is very straight, and the truck rides down the road straight with no vibrations. It doesn't overheat, and has a factory thermoswitch setup for the factory fan.

Love this truck but have a growing family and would like to see it go to another enthusiast who will take as good care of it as i have. Thanks for looking!
