Well I didn't exactly get this pickup New

I bought it from a neighbor for $800 after a divorce; it had no rear brakes and 4wd not working, bed was full of greasy crap, cab was full of dog hair, and of course the door didn't close all the way. Later I discovered it was missing a motor mount bolt! And oh yeah, one headlight was missing the adjusting bolts and it was just hard screwed into the sheet metal and pointing at a crazy angle.

I'm sure the latch and striker need replacing. It's a work in progress

Mostly I use it to haul firewood, and trash to the dump.
