Jonboy,

Unfortunately, no... and I intended to post the link to the truck (I'm hoping it goes to someone who will take care of it!) - the latest link is no longer working, so it may be sold, but I did find the following earlier ad:

craigslist

I did take a look at it in person, and it was overall a good truck with just a few issues. The seller was an extremely nice gentleman who was very patient and forthcoming regarding the truck. He was the second owner but may as well have been the first since he remembers buying it in 1985 with around 16,000(?) miles on it. I'm probably too particular, but I was hoping for either a nearly immaculate interior or exterior (or both!), but both needed a little elbow grease. Not much, but a little. I don't remember any cracks in the dash, although it didn't look like new... also, I was told the black paint was original, and only the hood seemed to need to be kept up. It was a red bench seat interior and the seat was covered. I got the impression it had been covered for some time, so, although I didn't see it, I imagine the seat was in good shape.

Overall, a real nice original black truck that should make someone VERY happy... if I didn't already own a truck that I've got a bit of investment in, I can almost guarantee I would have bought it. As it is, as soon as it's sold, I'll probably regret it.
