1982 isuzu pup diesel 4x4 2.2 c223 shortbed

Description

if it is still posted, it is still for sale.
this thing turns heads everywhere. it is a great utilitarian truck as is, or would make a great base for a full restoration if that's your prerogative - as your not going to find a better condition pup out there for under 10k. There are essentially no other 4x4 pup's out there available this thing is a true gem.
my daily driver, just got back from a 1000 mile road trip. the truck performed beautifully. the truck is now at just over 130,000 miles, and may increase slightly.
Fresh full synthetic oil; oil, fuel and air filters. new timing belt, valves just adjusted, injection pump timing set to 15degrees. New injection pump cold start seal. Radiator flush and new coolant at 129,000 miles all Just done 7/25/17.
Good tires shocks steering power starting lights body compression engine power steering etc all work good. Alignment is good, fires right up. No excessive smoke, or coolant leaks. Head gasket is defiantly good. good motor mounts, glow plugs, brakes, axles, body, parking brake works, transfer case differential transmission engine all work very smoothly with no hickups or weird noises - behavior.
the truck runs perfectly straight down the highway and doesnt pull shudder overheat.
This vehicle gets better fuel mileage than any other 4x4 pickup ever produced, these can get over 30mpg!
it would be a great vehicle to set up to run on WVO SVo waste vegetable oil or biodiesel. (so far it's been diesel only)
little bit of moistness from oil on the bottom of the engine from the crankcase breather, but it doesnt go through oil or coolant. there may be minimal oil leakage otherwise, but i have not noted any. to be clear in over 1000 miles of driving there has not been a discernable loss of oil.
bench seat and dash are in kind of poor condition but they are there and not unbearable, the seat is actually very comfortable and the cab spacious compared to the likes of a VW Caddy rabbit pickup and the likes.
Whole vehicle is rust free, but there is a tiny tiny bit of little rust marks where the paint is worn thin. this is a very good chassis.
All things considered the paint is pretty good, and the body and bumpers are nearly perfectly straight. There is also a single vertical crack in the center windshield that doesn't affect visibility, Not worth replacing in my opinion. Also I have brand new kyb front shocks I haven't gotten around to installing, not that the old ones are shot. the most glaring issue with this truck is that the dash is not in good shape.
I may be able to travel or make arrangements to sell in the western states.
Do not contact me unless you have what i want or the full asking price in cash.
I would consider trade for a turbo diesel cargo van, diesel sprinter van, very nice vw rabbit caddy pickup, 2008 or newer ktm 450 530 500 excf dirtbike, or maybe another HIGH END enduro / dual sport. No Klr, dr400/650 junk.
Thank you for looking. Please thoroughly read add before contacting me.

The Chevy Chevrolet Luv pickup truck pick up pick-up is the same vehicle rebadged. very similar to the isuzu trooper, toyota hilux landrover range rover as its a collectors type rig could make a great offroad rig too (it hasn't been used as a wheeler)
Vehicle will be sold AS IS, with no warranty. I have described the vehicle as accurately as i can to the best of my mechanacical perspective, but will not be responsible for any undetermined flaws.
