When I dragged this truck home, It ran/runs great, trans pulls good, PS pump was shot(replaced that already), head light was busted out, ordered and installed new ones. Tail light was busted, replaced it. Has some hop head seats in it , they got to go. Both back doors have the cables hanging out, already bought the cable repair things. Power windows don't work, checked the fuse and looked under the rubber by the hinges, nothing there. where do I go from here?? AC is out, I'll get that. ABS light is on. AND , it's got this crazy cap on it, that's 8" higher than the cab, it's coming off right away. But aside from what I've described , it should be a good truck, I'm just a little lost on the PW situation, any help would be appreciated.

Gotta admit that does look weird. Probably very functional though. Truck otherwise looks nice.

Welcome to TRS! And good luck with your power windows.
 
checked both motors are bad, got power right up to motors, no response. kinda coincidental that BOTH are bad, don't you think??? Ordered 2 new regulators from Rockauto for $35 each, not too bad.
 
i would use that shell because it probably lets my bike fit under it while upright. i would have to get some kind of thing to help the air up and over the lip above the cab though so it can still be a little aerodynamic because i want to keep the gas mileage my little truck gets

Come get it!
 
i would but mine is a step side, the killer of all easy camper shell finds.
