I bought it from a guy in NJ ~6-7 years ago who had restored it. Has been a great truck. Lift gate works great and has large footprint when it folds out. I"ve lifted many heavy bulky items with the lift gate and it really makes it a very useful and versatile truck. I had it fully serviced ~2.5 years ago (including all new tires) before I drove it from TX to WA. In the past year:
- New clutch, throwout bearing with pressure plate resurfaced.
- Full inspection which passed.
- Transmission fully inspected
Lift gate has three ways to control:
1. Control box on side which is fully operational
2. Foot controls on the deck. I haven"t been able to use them, but never checked into why.
3. Hand held corded control. Needs new cord, it had worked until the rubber cord covering cracked and fell apart due to age. I imagine they aren"t too expensive too replace.
The truck has fully serviced AC before I left TX, but haven"t had it operational yet. I think it just needs the 12V hooked up. I was out of time when I left TX and couldn"t finish it, however, new compressor etc. ..
As I mentioned earlier, I drove it ~2300 miles from TX to WA last year. It drove like a champ!
Paint has a little oxidation, so could use a buffing.
Small paint/bondo? cracking below windshield passenger side. I had a small repair done to the paint before I left TX, apparently it didn"t adhere well.
