All I can say is wow, there arent many solid SWB highly optioned survivors out there, you got really lucky, dont sell it ever you wont find another one.

Very nice!!! Great score!!!

Finally had time to check out the truck a little more. The door weather stripping was a mess so I decide to change it out before the rain comes. I found a little rust on the driver side but nothing major. The passenger side was in great shape. Also throw in a center belt so I can take my daughters for a ride.

Do you guys recommend spraying the rusted area with something? I ended up just covering it up for the moment.

Great find, CONGRATS! I would wire brush it and put some POR-15 on it.

Very true. It was a good deal in my eyes, but might not be for others. I spent $2,600 and another $75 to get it in my name.

no_rice · 10-22-2012, 02:46 PM

damn thats nice! good score.

**leddzepp** · 10-22-2012, 04:07 PM

Nice deal on that truck. Most SWB here at that price are junk that doesnt even run

Congrats, fantastic find & to me a sweet deal! Running truck to boot. Drive it and have fun with your new toy. the rust looks minimal to me in the sill area. Maybe try some rust conversion solution in that section&rattle can over it for now and keep an eye on it . great buy! cheers, Pat
