The truck was repainted in its current shade of yellow during prior ownership. The chrome rear bumper, taillamps, license plate panel, and trim are said to have been replaced, and exterior features include a removable white hardtop, a chrome front bumper, and quarter vent windows. The selling dealer notes paint overspray as well as paint chips around the body.
Aluminum 15″ wheels are mounted with 33×12.50″ Hankook Dynapro MT tires all around, and Warn locking hubs are fitted up front. The suspension features Bilstein shocks at each end and the power brake booster is said to have been replaced. Service work performed between 2019-2021 included installing Dana Spicer universal joints, spindle bearings, wheel seals, and Timken front inner and outer wheel bearings.
The interior features a pair of front bucket seats and a rear bench reupholstered in black vinyl with cloth inserts. Work performed under previous ownership consisted of installing sill plates, seat belts, a center console with cupholders, a seat back panel, and various trim pieces.
The aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 100-mph speedometer, an ammeter, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 56k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 350ci V8 was rebuilt in 2021 by Power Performance of San Luis Obispo, California. The work included a .030″ overbore, pressure-testing the cylinder heads, repairing the 625-cfm Street Demon carburetor, reconditioning the rods, and installing a Comp camshaft. Additional work carried out since 2019 included installing an alternator, an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and SBC valve covers. Engine casting #3970010 is shown in the gallery below along with other factory plates, stampings, and stickers.
The three-speed automatic transmission was rebuilt in 2021 and routes power through an NP205 dual-range transfer case installed the same year. The exhaust was modified with a Flowmaster Super 44 muffler, 2.5″ mandrel-bent piping, and replacement mounting hardware.
