i love this truck, never had a truck before and i don't think i can go back to a car. Truck drives likes its brand new, no noises at all and the tranny shifts perfect. It has 293k kilometers. Tranny and engine must be rebuilt cause it just drives amazing.






pictures aren't the best, i will get better pics of the truck soon, leather interior and power seats too

It may/may not be rebuilt. If these engiens are taken care of they can go a LONG way. my 1993 has the other style v6, but has 260k miles (418k km) and it runs damn good for it's age.

good luck with it and welcome!

if the conversions are of i'm sorry. i used this site for it:

(physics teacher hated us using it, lol)

Thats in really good shape for a vehicle that sees snow. Don't be scared of the mileage there is a reason you see so many on the road, they will take alot of abuse and a ton of miles. Take lots of pics because it will never be the same now that you found this sight.

the last owner rust proofed this truck like theres no tomorrow. Theres still layers of rust proof and oil in the doors and underneath the truck. I hope to put on 200k more. Will get pics of the interior soon too, the leather is in good shape and the interior looks brand new.
