Truck did have air conditioning, everything has been removed and the firewall air box replaced with a new factory original from Classic Industries. Engine compartment looks nice and clean now.

This truck is not a show runner but it is in great shape and could be perfect with just a little more attention. It is perfect for trail riding, dunes, mud, and rock crawling or just cruising around town. The truck definitely attracts a lot of attention whenever I take it for a drive. These old GM square body trucks are getting harder and harder to find not all rusted out. I have a lot of time and money invested, it’s my passion to do things right the first time. This truck has been a labor of love for the past 12 years that I’ve been working on it. It has not been driven hard, off roaded or rodded in anyway. I love the truck and really don’t want to or have to sell it, but I have too many vehicles and something needs to go.

The current racing seats and bracket can easily be removed and an original bench seat could be re-installed. I don’t have the original bench seat, but I’m sure one could be bought from a salvage yard and re-covered for a few hundred dollars.

Many dollars and even more time invested in this truck, so no trades and I don’t need help selling it, so don’t contact me for that.
