Drives good, just serviced-Has Tow bar Mount Bumper on front-I do not have a tow bar for it. These trucks are known to get over 40 Mpg. Also Just installed new transmission-motor mount and clutch cable. Local Alabama truck since new. Shifter needs a bushing-so it won't shift so sloppy-not a major issue once you get the feel for 1st. gear. Motor sounds and runs good. Motor was changed out some years ago and it has a turbo and think it was from a sorraco? So it has a little more umph to it get up and go.
Tires are o.k. for a while-it starts right up. Previous owner put a glow button heater switch on dash-so when cold you need to activate it-in days like to day you do not need it. Body is good-could use a paint job and the rear bumper straightened out. It will also need a new hood cable-it currently is opening fine. Dash is not so hot and original seats have covers on them now as they do have some wear on them. No rust except what you see-although is a dent on the passenger side floor board-not noticeable but when I had it on the rack I did see it-Looks like they may have run up on a stump.
I will add some more pics of the interior soon. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask-your more than welcome to come buy and check it out.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2013 Geneva Motor Show Debuts
Fri, 08 Mar 2013We've returned from a very busy week in Switzerland, and in going back over all of our 75 stories from the Geneva Motor Show, our editors have gathered up their personal favorite debuts from the European expo.
The wonderful thing about the Geneva show is just how wide of an array of vehicles are on display - everything from funny little one-off EVs to the most exotic of supercars to, well, truly ridiculous displays of coachbuilding. And because of that, this list of our editors' favorites might not be as predictable as you think.
But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
VW midsize crossover production headed for Chattanooga
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Potential labor woes aside, it looks like Volkswagen's Chattanooga, TN factory must have done something that impressed the bosses in Germany, because it sounds like the three-year-old factory is set to score a second model.
The factory currently builds the Passat, and has been in the running alongside VW's Puebla, Mexico factory to build a new crossover vehicle, likely based on the CrossBlue Concept. According to Bloomberg, a pair of unnamed sources have confirmed that Chattanooga is the favorite ahead of an official announcement.
When last we heard about the CrossBlue Concept, word was that a production decision had been delayed over concerns about the three-row CUV's business case. That August 2013 story claimed that a decision regarding the CrossBlue would be pushed back until early in 2014, which means we're ripe for some sort of news, whether good or bad.
Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.
