The truck has virtually new Toyo M/T Open County tires mounted.* Classic Selectro Heavy Duty front axle disconnects have been installed (original drive flanges are included with the tuck) to allow the front axle to freewheel when 4x4 is not needed saving wear and tear on the front driveline and tires.* The truck has power steering utilizing a Saginaw box, Flaming River u-joints, and components sourced both locally and from Snake River 4x4.* It has been converted to 12 volts with the battery relocated under the driver’s seat. * The seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl with high density foam in place of the original springs. The cushions have also been made slightly thinner than stock in order to accommodate the owner’s 6’6” height. * The cab top is a custom white vinyl with a large rear window (zippered so that it may be opened).* Billet mirror arms with rectangular mirrors have been installed on both the driver and passenger sides of the truck.* A newer gas tank was fitted to the truck, a spare tank, filler neck, and other excess parts are included in the sale.

The winch cable and hook will also have to be sourced by the new owner.* Some tidying of the wiring under the dash will need to be performed as the owner purposely left portions loosely secured in case he wanted or needed to make adjustments after the trucks initial shake down period after the restoration.Owner's plans had been to paint the pioneer tool rack, gas cap, and tailgate chains in silver to match the resto of the accessories and trim on the truck. The pioneer tools will have to be sourced by the new owner.* He also planned to have red bed liner spray applied to the bed of the truck which is why the bed interior is not painted to match the truck.The truck was driven extensively over the 2020 Labor Day Weekend at the Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally in the mountains of Virginia where it performed flawlessly on the roads and trails. It has been in storage in Raleigh, North Carolina, since but is available for inspection by potential buyers.
