it's not pretty, but it runs great, drives very nice too, no wander or loose feeling at all. It needs a few small things addressed but its a cheap 4x4 diesel with a ton of new parts on it. I only have 3 pictures I can email right now if you are interested.

It's in Norristown, PA 19403.

I bought it because my 11 second Mustang won't get me to my plow truck at 3am in a snow storm. I got a 2000 Jeep Cherokee to replace the truck and the Mustang as a daily driver since the Mustang isn't very civil.

Can you get some photographs of the interior? How much rust does it have underneath? Being since it is coming from up north, the rust is a concern. Also, what kind of shape is the bed in? Is the floor wavey or just normal wear and tear? Aside from the new parts on the engine have you done any upgrades at all, or is it all the way GM intended it? I am very interested.

Oh, and what gearing does the running gear have in it?

[barrys]

I have no clue on the gearing. I can try to find out, maybe not for a week or so, very busy the until the 8th of Novemeber.
Drivers floor has a small hole, passenger side is good.
outside of the bed could use some work, inside isn't that bad,
It has an electric fuel pump and a manual switch for the glow plugs, other than that, It's all like GM meant it to be, except it's visually challenged.

Two things I would have done is already. How are the floor boards? The rust around the fender makes me wonder. It is a shame how good trucks are ruined by the salt up there. WHat about the brackets on the frame. I have seen suspension components fall off becuase salt got behind them.

[barrys]

Drivers side has small hole, passenger floor is good. All brackets look good, not falling off, frame stuff down under have usually surafce rust but nothing that looked like it would be an issue. I have a complete front clip and doors from an '82 Blazer that I was gonna put on it, fix the bed/find a better one(paint the bed black, that's what color the parts are) and it would be a real nice looking truck. Interior isn't all that pretty, dash pad is beat up, seat is comfortable but torn(has a bad fitting cover on it now. Dorn panels are fine, rubber mat(no carpet). I'll work on pics, may take a week or so, my camera isn't working.

It sounds like something I can handle. I do not mind some paint and body work, but I really do not want to deal with stitching in patch panels. I am looking for somehting that is not a major project. So far your trucks sounds pretty good. If, your truck is somehting I can take on and have done before I start the academy in Jan and will not kill my very small budget I think we can talk a deal. Would you be interested in a trade at all or do you want cash?
