(case leaks, chain is loose and jumps/disengages)Front and rear springs are original to the truck and are sagging.Dashboard cover is in-place but is dry-rotted/crackedBedsides do have rust through on the outside - inner walls/floor are solid with no perforationA fresh paint job on the rest of the truck would be nice.While this is a running/driving truck with current tags, I do recommend that this truck be towed due to the transfer case not being perfect.
