My father-in-law bought it new and gave it to my wife and I a few years ago, but we no longer have room for it or time to fix it up. I'm in the Salem, Oregon area. I'd really like it to go to someone who wants it for a build. It has a ton of potential and I’d love to see it fixed up.
$3000 OBO
I used to use it for short drives and hauling, but it just started blowing white exhaust so it’s parked now. I assume it’s developed a head crack or gasket problem, which it’s never had before. I can help with transporting the pickup in the surrounding area.
It has 150K miles and dual gas tanks, newer tires, starts strong, clean title. 4WD is manual and works just fine. I recently replaced front brake pads and calipers.
The top of the cab is primered to stop the rust and there is one rust patch on the passenger side bed. The frame looks solid with just some surface rust. The battery is newer and I keep a trickle charger on it. The stereo and speakers are newer but I think there’s a ground problem or something as it’s not playing strong like it used to. It is wired for a sub and there is a bulky one behind the seat.
The a/c eventually lost its charge but I never really needed it so I just took the belt off. I think a fuel sending unit in the front fuel tank needs replaced but the rear tank shows the level fine. The current rims I bought used and they have some pitting but they look and drive better than the steel wheels that were on it, but I still have those and will include them. I’ve had to replace the TFI a couple times and it might be about ready again, as it would cut out occasionally when under load.
Happy to provide any other info or pictures you want.
