Hey whats up. Im Jose and this is my/my dads truck.
Im in Socal/Palmdale (about 30 mins south of willow springs race track)

We have had it well over 10 years now. I was driving it to school before i got my S13 coupe and after my car accident with my coupe. It took me to school everyday for over 1 year. It has a problem where the fule isnt pumping up good when going faster than 50mph. Not shure what is wrong exactly. The engine was rebuilt and the tranny was put in at the same time back in 03 i belive ( i was to small to know what was going on). So we dont have the paperwork. It has about 5k miles on the motor and tranny and about 140k on chassis. It was my dads work truck so towing a car is no problem when its running good. Its a 3/4 ton truck, C30 so it has a big bed but its not a dually. It has 2 gas tanks. Engine bay looks really dirty and wires going all over the place..not so bad in person. and when its cold or snow's (such a big engine) it takes about 1 min to turn on but during summer it turns on right away.

Things i can remember off the top of my head
Pros
-Rebuilt 454 Big block (7.4 litters of power!! no paper work of rebuild and block is new)
-new or rebuilt tranny (no paper work also..cant remember if its brand new or rebuilt also)
-Driver side gas tank and lines were cleaned out a few years ago (passenger tank is disconnected..parents think its dirty)
-Custom button start (Dad made it..no one knows how to start the truck)
-Custom Horn button
-has power steering
-new battery

Cons
-Salvage title (body seems straight but we think it was stolen or broken into)
-speedometer/ odometer dont work (go's faster than what im actualy going..odo says about 150k but is actually under 140k miles)
-fule isnt being sent when going faster (past 50mph from what i see, and isnt going to pass smog while this is going on)
-Windshield is cracked and so is tiny side window (water and snow dosnt get it)
-Interior isnt so good/ cracked dash and ripped seat (reason for seat cover)

If you have any questions..wana see the truck or more pics let me know. send me a pm..Text me or call me at my cell (661) 86Zero-945Nine
The whole engine and tranny thing cost my dad about 5k so he is asking $2,000. as far as trades i dont know what he wants.
