Guy said come have a look, so I grabbed my flashlight and nosed around. It was sitting at his business and locked, so couldn't get inside. Did not get chance to drive.

Yes, LWB. Not sure on gear ratio, of if it has the 420 or 465 (how do I tell?). No saddle tanks or tool box.

Only exterior rust I can see was the driver's door and some minor surface rust here and there. Got underneath and rockers look very solid and very good. About the only thing I noticed that was rusted through were the cab supports and one corner. Fenders looked good from underneath the truck, light surface rust.

Truck does have AC and vents inside cab, but no condencer hooked to engine. Does have the AC radiator that sits just behind grill and in front of engine radiator.

Has alum rims and BFG mudders (I could take em or leave em)

I'm in northwest Missouri. All the trucks I've seen up this way either have lots of rust or the owner wants lots of $$$ for them.

My secretary's husband works for this guy. Said the truck was restored about 15 years ago and looked fantastic. He put a snow blade on it about 5 years ago and uses truck to plow his small parking lot at business (about 15 spaces total). Truck sits in machine shed most of year, used in winter when it snow. Plow is on truck now, secured to frame. Bolted on.

If I could magically create a truck it would be 71 K20 4x4 with manual tranny. The tach, tilt, AC, nice rims/tires are all icing on the cake. No pics...didn't think it would be cool to be nosing around his truck after hours at his place of business snapping pics. Hope to drive this weekend.
