Fleetside Automatic Ps Pb Tilt Custom Deluxe 4x4 1967 1968 1969 1970 1972 on 2040-cars

I have owned this truck since 1981.  I purchased it in Reno, Nevada and it was originally sold in Reno.  I have used it for a daily driver, hunting, and all of the other things trucks are used for but I have always over-maintained it and taken exceptional care of the truck.  It has been garaged for all but 2 of the 33 years I've owned it.  As you can see by the listing it has about 275,000 miles. I purchased it with 41,157 miles.  As is indicated, I have only driven the truck about 17,000 miles in the last 10 years.  I bought another truck in 2007 and only drive this truck occasionally now.  It has taken me quite a few years to come to the point where I can finally consider selling it.  It has been a great truck for me.  Many of the drivetrain components have been replaced over the years and I have maintenance records to show when the repairs were done.  My maintenance records are detailed and include receipts.   Have the build sheet out of the original seat in fair condition.  I have completed most of the maintenance myself.  It has surface rust on the undercarriage as shown in the photos.  I removed a dime sized rust spot on the passenger door 8 or so years ago by cutting the metal away and replacing it with new metal.  As the same time I coated the lower body side with 3M Rocker Schutz coating to resist paint chips before the final paint was applied.  A few years before that, I cut ventilation areas in the bottom of the rocker areas behind the front doors to prohibit water collection and arrest rust formation.  Rust preventative was applied and rust that had begun to appear in those areas has not progressed in over 10 years.  I will provide photos if there is concern about rust on the truck.

The front and rear differential gears are stock.  They are 4.10 gear ratio and both differentials are open.  I have always changed the gear oil and replaced seals as necessary.

The 4-wheel-dirve works well.  Lock the hubs and shift it in, no issues.  I had the shifter professionally shortened in order to provide more center seat leg room.  The shortened lever does not affect the ability to shift to 4wd.

I have tried to describe the truck the best I can.  It runs good and drives nice.  It is a very nice example of a well maintained truck, some might consider it babied.  It is not perfect and is not a show truck as I have never restored it.  I can be contacted with any questions and will be happy to provide honest answers to the best of my ability.
