This truck has been completely soda blasted and then coated in blue epoxy which is an excellent primer for the Northwest.

This was a daily driver for a graduated high school'er that has decided to let the next guy finish it up. We have made an amazing start to the restoration project and below is a list of everything we have replaced. I also have a box of parts that will go with the truck to the lucky person that buys it.

No Radio or speakers
Extra Brand New Emblems and "CVT" Badges in extra box of parts
There are a batch of other small items replaced like little switches, wiper blades, antenna and plenty of things I've forgotten about as I write this ad.

The price is 12,000 and is a perfectly fair price for this truck, I've listed the replacements - do the math yourself. If you call and low ball me, after I get a good laugh, I'll hang up.
