It’s in bad shape, the first owner didn’t keep up with maintenance and the left side of the vehicle is banged up. My brother scraped a guardrail dodging some pedestrians who decided to take a jaunt on the highway.

The biggest issue is deferred maintenance. It needs new struts and coil springs. The engine is leaking coolant through the valley gasket. By and large, if it’s made of rubber it is original and it needed replacement ten years ago. I went into fix the blower motor and ended up doing a pretty hack job of it. The mechanic who was helping me out got a little impatient and ended up breaking a couple of the doors in the airbox. Almost all of the R12 has leaked out of the A/C system at this point. Rust has also eaten through the rear wheel wells at the seat belt anchor. The truck needs new tires all around. Two are bald, one is the spare, and the last is completely ruptured. The front right swivel needs to get rebuilt; it’s leaking fluid like crazy. The left side of the truck is banged up from colliding with a guardrail during the accident. The radio is broken. The power steering is exhausted. The hood cable needs replacement.

I imagine there are other issues lurking under the surface.

On the plus side, well… It’s actually not that rusty. There’s a hole in the rear floor pan and then again in the wheel wells but it’s not nearly half as bad as you’d expect. There’s some rust on the lower tailgate but the upper is pristine. The previous owner replaced it at some point. The sunroof works and doesn’t leak. The windows all function normally. The seats are solid. I’m not sure if it’s better or worse but the PO decided to cover the headliner in some sort of resin. It sure as hell won’t fall down on you but it looks like stucco up there.


I've replaced the ABS Pump, the pads, and put in new rear struts while I've owned it.
