FOR THE MOST PART THIS TRUCK IS AND RUNS AS IT SHOULD. RUBBER AROUND THE WING WINDOWS HAS TURNS A BIT HARD AND CANNOT CLOSE THEM FULLY AT THIS TIME. NEEDS RUBBER REPLACED. THIS LAST WINTER IT DID NOT GET WET INSIDE WITH HEAVY RAINS. THERE ARE SMALL DETAILS SOMEONE COULD UP DATE AND/OR FIX. DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAD SOME WIPER DAMAGE AND SOMEONE BUFFED THEM OUT AND OVER HEATED IT A LITTLE CAUSING SOME DISTORTION IN THE SIDE GLASS. NOT IN THE FORWARD VISION AREA. DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AS IT SHOULD AND IS VERY QUIET INSIDE ON THE FREEWAYS. THE LAST TRIP WAS 150 MILES, 2 LANE MOUNTAINS ROADS AND I-5 FREEWAY. NO ISSUES. GOOD USABLE TRUCK. HAS LESS THAN NORMAL DINGS AND SMALL ISSUES. LIKE DOOR LATCH ADJUSTMENT, ETC. HEATER CORE IS HOLDING WATER BUT THE SHUT OFF VALVE ON THE BLOCK IS FROZE. I HAVE AN OLD SCHOOL GOOD ONE LIKE IT BUT HAVE NOT PUT IT IN YET, GOES WITH THE TRUCK.

I FOUND THREE SMALL DIME SIZED BUBBLES IN THE PAINT ON DRIVERS REAR CAB. CLEANED IT UP AND MADE A GOOD REPAIR THEN REPAINTED THAT AREA AND SOME OTHERS THAT NEEDED TOUCHED UP. CAN YOU BELIVE I FOUND A GOOD GRADE OF RATTLE CAN PAINT, APPLE RED, THAT IS ALMOST PERFECT MATCH. :) I SEE NO OTHER RUST ISSUES NOR PATCHES.

NEW REAR BRAKES WILL NEED ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT AND THE FRONT ONES WERE INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION FOR SOME MORE MILES.
