Well, not longer new, but when I bought it earlier this year the motor had around 6,000 miles. It has a 1991 350 TBI motor with headers, bells and whistles. I have no idea what the front grill is from, but it does not look too bad. The bumper too is an addition, and so the lights all around the truck. The problem is that I am unable to tell you what all these parts are, since I bought the truck just the way it looks now. The person who sold it to me bought it from a GI who had been buying parts and modifying the truck. Even the paint work he did, and I have no idea what the color formula is. But since it looks good, I just enjoy driving it. The only time I frown is when I look at the fuel gage

Right now it's parked outside and plugged into an electrical outlet so I can drive it to work in the morning. It has been around -40 degrees for two or three days already, and the truck looks like Casper the ghost, all covered with a thin layer of white from the ice fog outdoors.



Almost forgot: do you see the electrical cord plug under the left front of the bumper? That's a 3-way cord (a Y-cord with three outlets). One outlet powers a 450-Watt block heater, the other a 75-Watt oil pan heater, and the last one powers a 45-Watt battery heater. The male plug by the bumper I connect to an arctic-grade extension cord which in turn is plugged to an electrical outlet at the back porch for about four hours each night.
