Truck is in fantastic condition.Sounds good, looks awesome, and drives great. There is very little “wandering” and no “death shake” since it is all original suspension height.

Pulled 24’ race car trailer multiple times a year which is less than 10,000#, pulls 3000# small enclosed bike trailer locally 20 times a year. Otherwise it has been driven unburdened.

Very hard to find a 12 valve truck in this condition that has been adult owned and driven for 20 years by the same person.

Expensive - but not sure it can be replicated or at least it will be very hard to find.
