I bought it today. Just need to change out the mirrors and do some changes to put my personal touch to it. Originally from Arkansas and oddly enough it was a railroad truck.. Base model Custom Deluxe with AC, original 350 engine rebuilt 13K ago and a TH400 4.56 Gov-loc at least according to the options list. No rust at all, roof was redone along with S-10 windows. Real happy with it getting 12.67 MPG on the trip home. More pictures to come, to late to get any tonight.

I'm going to report you to Choptop. He would have bought this if you didn't.
That is a great looking truck you found, good luck with it.

That's sharp. What size wheels & tires does it have?

LT265 70R17... Up in the air whether I like them. Might opt for stock aluminum version if I can find them and go with 16" for a better ride. She rides like a 1 ton for sure. I have some bad vibrations to look into but I know it needs a waterpump, clutch fan and water pump pulley. Also a new AC compressor was put on and the belt doesn't line up so I need to figure out that issue as well. The TH400 really wines in first and kinda has a sound that winds down when you go into park from reverse. Haven't had a TH400 in a long time.

That is a really nice truck. I hadnt heard from the previous owner in quite a while, so I was wondering if he had it or what. When you sent me the pics, i hoped that youd get it. I really like the rear windows, will be doing the came mod on mine as the time comes to do the body work. Congrats and welcome to the few but proud club of extended cab members. We are definately few and far between.

Don't know if you have problems with your roof cracking at the seams or not but when the PO had the work done 5+ years ago the guy cut out the entire roof and replaced with a ribbed roof from an Astro van when he did the S-10 windows. Now to make it mine and enjoyable to drive, now it is not...
