I want to keep this add short and sweet and accurate as possible .   I  will just use a grade system to grade certain systems of the truck and conditions ( 1-10 ) 1 being very bad and 10 being perfect .  

Quick history -   I bought this dodge out of New mexico from a man and lady that had a small horse farm . They used it to haul a double horse trailer occasionally .   the truck was fully loaded with all the options but yet had the indestructible 4 speed with granny low transmission .   The truck had like 70k original miles and they promised it ran and drove well and was rust free .   I had paid $2200 to haul it up to upstate NY . 

When i got the truck it was 100% rust free , original and unmolested . It even came with the original window sticker owners manual and original dealer license plate - since then i am not sure what i did with the window sticker but i have the manual and original dealer license plate .    I took the truck for a test ride about 10 miles and was really impressed that everything worked as it should - power windows worked ,power mirrors , power door locks , wipers , squirters , a/c is  , heat blows hot , brakes worked well , emergency brake worked properly , tilt steering column was tight , all factory gauges on dash worked , clutch and 4 speed was right on , 318 fuel injection runs like a swiss watch )   Has good power and exhaust is quiet , no rips or tears in the original interior , club cab seats looked never used , etc.   I did have to replace the passenger side valve cover gasket due to a drip ( looks like new under the valve cover)   .    The only issue is i have to kind of play with the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel a bit to get the cruise to work - 

since the truck checked out mechanically and interior was nice i decided to have the truck paint stripped down of the original 1991 finish   and have it repainted .    my budget was $5000 including paint materials and I feel i got my moneys worth but I want to be clear that the its a driver quality job - not a show room concours job that would have been double the cost easy .    The truck was stripped down to bare metal - all the dents and dings where pulled , then the truck was epoxy primed , body worked , re epoxy primed , high build primed , blocked out , sealed and 2 toned with Nason base and clear coat .  (the shop said it was the first 35 year old truck that didnt need a single piece of metal or rust repaired )      truck looked good enough for me but for $800 extra they said they could wet sand and buff it to a mirror finish ( I did NOT  go with the buff job because i was content ) .   

CONDITIONS -   (1 terrible - 10 perfect )

*  Rust free body and frame  10 

*  Paint job/bodywork    8 

*  Interior 8 —- Needs a thorough detail and clean could make it a 9 of 10 

*  Steering/suspension  8.5- 9 

*  Brakes 9

*  exhaust 8.5

* engine and trans ( driveline ) 9

* clutch 9

* tires 4 maybe 4.5 

*  electrical  9

* trailer brake with trailer wiring 9

* 4x4 functionality 9

* glass and trim 8.5

I hope this scale helps - The truck maintains 99% of its original MOPAR parts on it .      i think with a little lift kit and some nice tires/wheels it would look great .      I did have the shop FLUID-FILM the underneath and inside the door /body seams before the truck was exposed to any road salt or harshness .  .  ($500 extra ) .

asking a  SUPER FAIR $19900 for the truck     -  I've sold 3 cars and a tractor on ebay(and this way of payment works for me )   - $500 non refundable deposit through ebay  -    Then i want to give you 5 days after purchase to get me the balance .   CASH in my hand is still KING , but cashiers bank check or wire transfer to my account also works -   That wire or check must clear and i will release vehicle and help load if your sending a transporter company .   Once payment cleared i will mail out the title (fully tracked) through USPS .     take all the time you want to come get the truck - i live in a country setting and the truck isnt going anywhere .  THANKS - I hope I didnt miss anything but if I did feel free to message me .
