After seeing vtblazer's 4x4 for sale, i'm considering selling my truck to get a 4x4, if not his, then another. I am the second owner of my truck, an old man had it and took meticulous care of it until he passed away, when his wife put it on ebay. it spent it's life in arizona until he moved to oregon for two years with his daughter until he passed. There are ten pages of things in back of owners manual where he wrote down everything he ever did to truck. Has all manuals and protecto-plate and all paperwork when bought new. The truck has nearly zero rust, a small spot on inside of passenger door and about a dime size spot on driver kick panel, everything else is solid as a rock. Truck is:

Original paint
350
automatic (rebuilt 20K ago)
tilt
air (blows cold/still r-12)
wood floor
rear sport bumper
p/s
p/b
red/orange and white
highlander package

I installed air ride suspension on it. It has dropped spindles and bags up front, blocks, bags, shock relocator and super track bar in rear. kyb shocks all the way around. Has an air ride technologies onboard compressor system (4-way) as well. All ball joints, brakes, calipers, etc. are near new. Suspension came out front under Filmguys truck. Wheels are centerline 15x10 and 15x8 with new bfg tires. I have a set of new sport mirrors in box that i've not installed. I have nearly everything to make it short as well. I have a complete short truck with crappy body (71), an NOS driver's short bedside, a complete near mint long steel floor bed which i was going to shorten floor and use head gate to make a steel bed. I have an NOS inner and outer grill, bowtie, front park lights, and some miscellaneous parts for restore. Interior is very nice with new plastic chrome pieces, dash pad, bezel, comfort grip steering wheel, sill plates, i have spent a lot of time and money on this thing. Has new dual exhaust with flows, new battery, new alternator, it's ready to go, i'd jump in it and go anywhere. Just want a feeler for what you guys think it might bring. I am not interested in selling parts because if i don't sell truck i will keep them for the restore. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!!!
