Description

I have owned this truck for 20 years, and it has been in my family since it left the dealer's lot. Truck has never been in a collision and title is clear. This truck was custom-ordered from the dealer and has been garaged since the day it rolled off the lot. Paint and interior are original and in remarkable condition for any vehicle, and exceptional condition when considering this truck's age. Original window sticker goes to buyer.
Truck has many, many modifications and improvements:

THE BAD:
Truck had difficulty passing emissions. Upon inspection, catalytic converter core had been melted. Replaced catalytic converter, truck passed emissions but then failed again the following year. Checked the cat - internals were melted again. I was preparing to repair that issue and find the root cause when the truck's electronics went nuts while driving - engine stalled - gauges and lights flickered on and off. I attempted to diagnose the cause, but never found the problem. I lost interest in the truck and never took it into a professional shop, because I could not find a person with the appropriate specialty to diagnose this engine locally. Truck runs and drives, but timing seems to be all over the place -- jumps around when checking with timing gun when ECU is connected. Runs poorly now and won't pass emissions until this problem is resolved.
