It's not a show winner, but it's a cool trail machine. I got it from a finance company, so I don't know alot about it. It's got a 400 big block motor that has really been built up. It has a heavy duty electric fuel pump and a big filter that that looks like a small oil filter and mounts on the fender with braided stainless steel lines. It has a Holley carb of some type on a Eldenbrock intake. It's by far the most powerful 400 I've ever seen. It's got a C6 transmission and NP205 transfer case. The front seats have been replaced with some nice gray tread seats. It has dual exhaust, Grant steering wheel, Lund visor, optional power steering cooler, big after-market transmission cooler, big 33 gallon gas tank with skid plate, and class 3 trailer hitch. The axles are Dana 44 high pinion front and 9" rear. I think they are both open. I don't know what gear it has, but they feel right for the tires. The tires are Ground Hawg 38.5x15x15 and have about 3/4 of the tread and the rims are beautiful aluminum rims with no blemishes. The spare is mostly worn out and on a steel rim, but it's the right size. To clear those big meats it has a Trailmaster 4" lift with some extras from superlift and a 3" body lift. It has an awesome heavy duty custom winch bumper on it. I will take $100 off the price and give you a stock bumper if you will let me keep this bumper.

Ok now for the problems. The passenger side has some dents in the door and rear part of the front fender. They are could be fixed if you wanted. The lower part of the tailgate has been patched with fiberglass. There are small dents and scratches on various other places and the paint job quality is minimal. The windshield has been scratched on the passenger side by a wiper blade. The gas guage doesn't work and it has no radio. The interior has all been removed. It was missing the seat belts when I got it, but I have gotten a complete set for it now and they are included. The inside panels are now made of plywood. Someone did a pretty decent job with it and they look nice. There is no carpet. The biggest problem is rust. The rear fenders have been replaced. The gas cap area is the wrong one and that makes it difficult to open. I will include the correct parts. The floor boards have been partially replaced. There is rust at the bottom of the door jambs as you can see in the picture. That's pretty common for these trucks though. There is a small leak in the power steering somewhere.

I might consider a trade.

now that would be one wicked truck u could just go tearing up the trails in. Lol id prolly sink it though :). Would u think about parting with the wheels and tires? I was wondering if they'd fit a 1990? Probably not im not headstrong on wheels and tires and conversions like that.

I tried to sell the tires and wheels, but no takers. I wanted $800 for them. As for fitting your axles, yes they will. You'd have to have mega lift to get them on though.

lol they'd be cool to just sit around until i get the mega lift for the summer, I was also wondering would it be safe to just get a lift for the summer, then for the fall take the lift back off... and just keep doing that? I know it might be a stupid question, but im trying to learn all i can about FSB's.
