I'm trying not to show too much interest, pulling the VIN or snapping pictures would show a lot of interest, I have crawled it from front to rear and I like it regardless of true size.

Whoever did the rodstoration went through a lot of trouble and money. The exhaust pipes still smell like new when you fire it up and this truck was finished over a decade ago. I would be embarassed to have the kind of money spent on this truck in my 1 ton. I can buy it for about a third of the receipts. It is not a truck for purists by any means, its just cool.

The paint job is an 80s or early 90s decent quality single stage paint job. I will just have to live with red, cause it was done interior and exterior. Maybe black or grey on the outside would look okay with the red and black interior.

It was a 216 truck that has had a late 235 transplanted in it, I sure wish I still had that 261 I let go about 5 years ago.

When did hydrovac start? The brake setup on this thing scares me. Pedal setup is overly complicated.

I have fired it up and putted around the yard but not driven it as the brake cylinders need to be gone through (sat over 10 years). Am I correct in that these have 6 expensive wheel cylinders?

What is the correct 2 speed rear end shift method for the early 2 speeds?
