Its got NO rust,and 31" tires stock with 4X4 manual hubs.new radiator, custom 2 1/4" exhaust CD player, and a towing package.and all electric, window, brakes locks.727 trans, Dana 44 front 3.23 gears and 9 1/4 with 3.23 gears(posi) and a 241 transfer case.

hahaha i wanna know where this guy got the little mopar symbol for the air filter nut! my friend has a 86 rc and he would prolly love to get his hands on one of those

[monsterhunter]

hahahah yeaa, you could probably find that on the internet somewhere. thats one majorly overlooked detail.

[monsterhunter]

well i have alittle bit of an update on this, im going to look at the truck saturday hopefully. and i have a few new pics from the guy as well.



the only real problem i see is the headliner, but thats an easy fix.

[monsterhunter]

well i have alittle update on this, going to see it sunday now, not saturday, hate waiting to see this thing. its driving me crazy.

I learned to drive in a '74. Awesome truck. Really fun to drive.

[monsterhunter]

yea my family had two of them a 76 and a 86, i loved those things, so i figured might as well get mine own now.

Buy this tank, you don't see enough of them any more.

[monsterhunter]

yea i know, im planning on buying it, if theres no major rust on it. idc about the other stuff, trans i got another one, transfer case got one. motor got my options, no major rust and its sold. the guy said that he did two patch panels in front of the rear wheels, and it seems like he did a good job in the pics. im going to look at it on sunday since im out in NJ and this suckers out in PA its gonna be a long drive, will have more then. and most likely more pics. also.

well major let down here. went to look at it, 2 hour drive out, body was nice and good, but then as we were test driving, it there came the bad. needs front end and brake work. it would have been a great buy if i had the funds. but unfortunitly Im limited to 1800 bucks and i jsut didnt have the money to put into it, so im not going to buy this truck. next truck to look at is a 1984 ram charger. closer to me this time, i will be looking at that in 2 weeks when my parents get back from NC.
