Asking $8,000.
2wd
Cab Plus (SuperCab) with rear doors
187k miles
Factory bedliner
Factory alloys
Automatic trans
Sliding rear window / privacy glass
Just inspected September. Clean title. No issues. Good brakes, good tires, strong engine, smooth tranny, all good.
No body rust except starting at rear fenders, I show it in pics. Only bad dent is on the right front fender.
Scratches on hood of the color coat but not dented or rusty.
Overall solid, nice riding truck with everything working except minor things I mention at end.
I had it one year I drove like 5k miles if that. I'm selling it because I wanted 4x4 and I have the '97 now.
Probably I am still keeping it a week or two because I am sorting the '97 but I thought I'd go ahead and post now.
Stuff I did
Fix rear door latches. There are new aluminum grommets where the original plastic ones fail. I did the tops, didn't need the bottoms, but I have them if you ever do need them.
Flushed heater core and cooling system because no heat. Replaced thermostat and its gasket. Heat is to spec now (very hot).
Replaced blower fan control and its pigtail, it works correctly now.
a/c all good, very cold (doesn't need anything)
Replaced cruise control buttons, they work.
2 PATS keys
Key to spare tire lock
Replaced starter
Battery is good, starts strong
Replaced seat belt driver's side it was frayed.
New front tires mount/balanced have about 100 miles on them if that. They match the rears, which are good. 235/75R15 (stock size).
Checked alignment, it's in spec.
New tail light lenses
Left tailgate latch replaced
New rear drums both sides with springs, shoes new. New wheel cylinder left side.
Right side did not need cylinder but I have the new cylinder, goes w/ truck.
Rotors (front) were checked and are good.
Here is the last stuff on my list which is nothing huge and nothing mechanical.
2 dash bulbs are burned out (of the 5). I have 6 new bulbs, they go w/ truck.
Driver seat has part a spring broken in the back. Doesn't affect it, the seat is comfortable and supportive, just mentioning it.
Pass side seat belt slightly frayed, doesn't have to be replaced but you could if you wanted to be picky.
OEM CD works sporadically. Radio works great and speakers sound really good (4 speakers).
Here is a ton of pics if you want to see something else let me know.
