   I bought this truck  out of southern Pennsylvania about 4 years ago. It had been sitting for awhile. I believe I am the third owner. I did the brakes 100% including shoes, wh cyls, hoses, lines as needed, master cyl , hardware as needed. Tune up with plugs points cap, rotor, wires, carb kit. Gas tank pulled & checked out ok. New clutch master & slave cyl. Shocks pulled & check out ok. The exhaust was shot so I built a custom dual system using Hedman headers. It was cheaper than a factory system and is quiet. This past year it got a new battery & 10 ply radial tires. The truck has very rare factory stainless steel west coast type mirrors as well as an equally rare interior day/nite mirror. It even has period correct "aerodynamic" stainless wiper blades. It still has the original jack & lug wrench, underneath spare tire carrier as well as a bed carrier but no spare tire. It has a class 3 trailer hitch and correct 6 pin wiring connection. There is a Tekonsha electric brake control in the cab but it is not working. Maybe a wiring issue, I have not messed with it. I have towed my car trailer with no problem. Factory step bumper. Owners manual included. The mileage was in the 62,000 range when I bought it but at 66,446 the speedo broke due to the wrong cable (too long). I replaced the speedo with a used one showing 79,085 miles and the correct cable. It works perfectly. I estimate the actual mileage at not much more than 67,000 but I cannot document it other than showing the pictures of both speedometers. All lights, horn, wipers etc. work as they should. It has a complete intact factory windshield washer system but I have never tried it. Things I know it needs: driver's vent cable; heater cable froze in "on" position, passenger door does not lock with key (link missing), door window weather-strip & cat whiskers. If I were to keep it, I would change the soft plugs although they do not seem to leak now. As far as rust, everybody has their own ideas and standards. This truck has rust and has had rust repair and a repaint in the past. The drivers floor has been repaired as have the running board step areas, inner front fender wells by hood hinges. A previous owner lined the bed floor & sides with 1/8 " steel plate, why? I do not know. Looking underneath, the original bed floor & sides do not appear to be all rusted out. However there is now some rust showing in areas of this plating as shown. The truck appears today as when I bought it. It is very solid in my opinion, doors open & close with no sag. Tailgate has had some repair to right side hinge area, but works as it should. Overall this truck runs & drives very well. It starts right up, does not smoke or use oil. Previous owner claimed to have done a valve job, but I cannot document that. It is not a show piece but for a 45 year old Dodge truck in upstate New York it is in very good overall reliable condition and gets favorable comments whenever I take it out. I have described this vehicle to the best of my ability but I may have overlooked something. I encourage you to come take a look and a drive and to ask any questions you may have. If you need more pix, let me know. I will not ship. Truck is "as is where is". If reserve is met, I will through in major power steering components, including pump, ram, drag link, misc. hoses of which I have over $300 invested. Bid to own, not to show up & decide something else. Thank you for your consideration.
