Got a wedding to pay for so its time for my toy to go.  Many hours of engineering time into this one and unlike most cars in your garage, it will APPRECIATE in value. 

Note that the passenger side photo was taken before fender badges were re-installed which can be seen in the First Image.

Your still reading, so I bet you want to know... what does Big Red need????

Of course there are a few fit and finish items left for the next owner to finish as they like which is why I'm not listing it at $45k.  Body could use a little shimming to get the panels just right.  Most paint is fresh new and it needs a good buff and polish.  A/C compressor needs the hose crimped on, belt attached, and system charged.  The hose and belt are included.  You may want to adjust the carb to your preferred performance settings.    

I'm throwing in all the component manuals and installation instructions I have so the new owner can tinker and customize dash, cameras, etc to their liking.    ​

I have some bear-claw door latches which you can install if you don't like the original wedge style system.  

I've put about 70 miles on the truck since the rebuild so it is road worthy, but I always advise anyone who is purchasing a classic vehicle to trailer them home from the purchase and take your time getting to know your vehicle's personality on short drives first and go further as you get more familiar with the vehicle.  I can't tell you if it would make it to Utah.  I haven't tried, as fun as that may be.
