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. The engine was rebuilt and the tranny was put in at the same time back in 03 i believe ( i was to small to know what was going on). So we don't have the paperwork. It has about 6k miles on the motor and tranny and about 140k-145k on chassis.Odo/spedo don't work and has wrong miles. It was my dads work truck so towing a car is no problem. Its a 3/4 ton truck, C30 so it has a big bed but its not a dually.You can tow your car to the track no problem. I have 2 more trucks so I don't need it to tow stuff but to daily to school. 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
-Tags/reg/smog done this December that past.

Cons
-Salvage title (body seems straight but we think it was stolen or broken into)
-speedometer/ odometer don't work (go's faster than what im actually going..odo says about 170k but is actually under 145k miles)
-Windshield is cracked and so is tiny side window (water and snow doesn't get it)
-Interior inst so good/ cracked dash and ripped seat

If you have any questions..want to see/test drive 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 don't know what he wants but he dose like s13's,14's,fc's and other things like that. Its currently my daily driver, need a car though. If I get an offer of a car that is better I can also add my s13 on my side (sr/rb things like that)
