This v8 runs and drives very strong. Powerful enough to drive 70 to 80 mph but very quite inside. Very smooth ride because of the parabolic springs and shocks. The frame is very solid with a new rear cross member. Bulkhead is in good condition expect around the upper window rail. there is rust around that area. Truck is missing the back tail gate window. Front winch plate added for easy install. This is just a small list of items done to the truck. Plenty more receipts in additional to what i mentioned. Comes with full gal. roof rack. Everything is working properly including lights. If you need additional info or pics, please contact me. Make offer. Thank you.
