Got this truck 8 yrs ago in CA. Drove out to the coast on weekends for fishing, and occasionally up to the mountains. Moved to DFW area TX 2 yrs ago – no ocean or mountains to drive to! So, I rarely use it. She’s a great driver hot rod as is, everything works, and everything is so simple that it’s easy and cheap to fix when something goes. Fine on the highway, especially with the 6-speed, cruising at 80 is just loafing along. 383 Stroker, 10.4:1, 64cc aluminum heads, 2.06/1.6 valves, 1.5/1.6 roller rockers, tunnel ram and edelbrock dual quads. I believe there are 12.5k miles on the stroker. I put 7.5K miles on it myself. Runs strong and doesn’t burn oil. I also rebuilt both carbs last year – not driving through the Texas winter had gummed them up. Brand new 9” 4.10 rear and new Moser 31 spline axles. Axles also compatible with Wilwood and other disc brake kits. Traction bars. T-56 6-speed manual transmission. Headers, and mufflers with electric cutouts and remote control. Mercedes leather seats, new Infinity bluetooth stereo with 6 Precision Power speakers and crossovers in doors with dynamat. New brake master cylinder. New clutch master cylinder. New battery, new starter, new fuel system with 3/8” lines and Holley 97 gph electric fuel pump with cutoff switch. New tires with 295’s out back. Other Parts: Original bench seat and original axles also included, as well as some miscellaneous spare parts. I purchased electric power steering parts for a conversion, but decided I liked the feel as is. Will be included in case you want to do the job. Body: Light damage to left rear shown in pic. A s***bag in a Tesla rear ended me at a traffic light. Clear coat on the hood is also peeling. Some other nicks/scratches, and rust spots coming through in places. My next step was to do the body work and find a place to get her painted. Other potential issue: Driveline whine began shortly after putting the new rear end in. It needs another ~1K miles before changing the gear oil, so hopefully it goes away after that. Clean Texas ***le. Come kick the tires and go for a spin.

Special today - truck for lifetime of Thanksgiving dinners - must come to my house each year and prepare all the traditional items
Pre-Xmas bump. Is market just super soft, or is my pricing incorrect? Knew I'd take a bath, but I'm already at roughly half of what I have in it... honestly thought she'd sell very quickly.
