Everthing was rusted. You could stick your finger through the trailing arms and the frame was almost that bad.anyway the asking price was quickly cut in half but i couldnt tell him i would not give $500 for it for parts. I did not take pictures. Why do they use this stuff on roads? There has to be a better way. Anyway the search goes on.
And welcome to my world. Remember what dealer emblem was on it?
Get an AZ body and a MN interior and you will have a pretty decent truck!
