This truck was bought in December 2020 as a restoration project and was completed in May of 2022. Since then, the truck has been driven frequently and has had no problems. Near complete restoration was done on the truck including new paint, bedliner, brakes and brake lines, rocker panels, passenger inner fender, ball joints, coil springs and shocks (front and rear), alternator, engine fan, radiator core support, LED taillights, weather stripping, carpet, dash panel, gauges, rebuilt transmission, rebuilt radiator, seatbelts, steering wheel and column, fuel pump, exhaust system (headers, mufflers, and lines), gas lines and tank, aftermarket Bluetooth radio and kick panel speakers, heater core, wiper motor, wiring harness, front and rear bumper, and much more. I have receipts for many of the parts and spare parts that will come with the truck including the original rear and front bumper, gas tank, and passenger fender.
Since completing the restoration, the truck has been driven frequently and has had no mechanical issues. Original mileage when purchase was around 94,000 miles, since completing it I have put 7873 miles on it. The truck has the stock 5.7L 350 V8 motor and a Turbo 350 transmission. The original transmission had a cracked case, so I had it rebuilt. The engine has had very little work done to it as it was running in great condition when purchased and still runs great. The truck is a blast to drive, sounds great, and turns heads down the road.
There is some cosmetic damage to the paint from driving and use and a small oil leak. Some of the gauges also do not work correctly, the speedometer reads 10-15mph behind, but still works. The bench is from another truck and has not been reupholstered so there are a few burns and tears from previous owner. But other than that, the truck is in amazing condition and is a true gem.
