I still haven't made the time to finish up the last few things on this truck. So it's back up for sale again, I just don't have time for it. $4K OBO

Specs:

-SOA
-Ford Shock Towers
-SBC 350 swap ~50k on the motor
-electric fan
-rebuilt q-jet
-axles were rebuilt summer of '06 but DS ft is starting to leak a little again
-Lock-rite in the rear
-All-Pro high steer arms and FJ80 TREs
-700R4 transmission rebuilt when swapped 2 years and very few miles ago huge tranny cooler
-NP203 doubler-> stock case NP203 was just rebuilt
-homemade triple shifter
-Hurst shifter for the auto
-Recaro seats out of a late 80's GLI jetta
-rear stock seat is in good shape
-Interior bedlined
-2x3" steel rear bumper with D-ring and 2" reciever hitch
-2x3" sliders homemade
-Rattle can green with white stripe on the hood and roof
-JTO shackles in the rear
-New shackle bushings
-4-runner calipers up front with a T-100 master cylinder
-stickers on the rear windows are free (it's the old 'mud sticker)

The truck drove well with the auto and doubler. I had a little heat trouble last time out with a bad lower radiator hose but that's fixed properly now. Some leaking issues with the doubler set up but the t-cases are now rebuild and good to go.

There is typical rust for the age. Spots on the lift gate. some on the bottom of the tail gate. Rear quarters need to be cut... but they're beat up on the bottom and cutting them would remove the damage and rust. DS rear fender well lip has been trimmed and welded shut PS needs to be finished. DS floor pan has been cut and replaced as has the PS rear wheel whell. Either the master cylinder or the booster need to be replaced as the "first pump" is spoft on the brakes. 3rds need to be rebuilt as they are the 3.73s and have 250K miles on them. With the .7 overdrive you can run 4.88s and still have great highway RPMs.

This is a great wheelin rig. I just don't have the time or desire to play anymore. We moved about 30 mins away from any wheelin and the truck is just sitting wanting a new home. I'd love for this to go to someone who will wheel it.

Thanks for looking, e~mail or PM me if you want more pictures. We are located in Christiansburg VA and would love to get rid of this before we move.

I got a plan for ya. Paint it a different color, make a new name on mud with your new location and post it on mud. Maybe someone will think it's a steel when they can't go back and see all the post you made about the 60 in the past. :flipoff2:

Seriously though, as much as I hate to say it, this is the right rig for ebay if you take a weekend to make it "pretty".

If you still have it when I/if I ever get a job, I will probably buy it. Who knows when that will be, though.
