Original oil bath, Solex carb, generator, and other take off parts included.

Needs new seal on t-box rear output and left rear axle. Usual leaks and weeps of a 45 year old truck apply elsewhere. Soft top is run year round and is in fine shape with the exception of the rear panel/plastic which was vandalized a year or so ago.

This isn’t a show truck. Paint job was down in the driveway. It’s a runner and a user. It was my daily driver for almost 5 years before I got a company car and now gets run just about every weekend.

No idea on the mileage. The odometer was broken when I got the truck in 2001 and I replaced it in 2007. Speedo gear is wonky, but It’s a Series and speeding will not be an issue.

Registered through July 2010.

Fires right up and takes me where ever I need to go when I need to go.

Selling because I’m not physically able to enjoy and continue to do the work that keeps an old truck going. My back injury is degenerating. It’s hard to get up into the truck, bounce around in it for a few hours, and get in and under it to do the PM work it needs and deserves. Series trucks are a labor of love and as much as I love her, I can’t do the labor part anymore.
