Rebuilt title. but looks like it had quite a few options, i see a tach cluster with a 4 speed. is that an EGT gauge by the lower part of the column?
too bad no engine pics.

We're all driving twenty year old trucks with engines that require about as much maintenance as a ratchet wrech.

Rebuilding is what we do

Looks like it's got a leak, probably engine oil or maybe the front axle.

Otherwise looks real nice. Low miles and a nice price -- heck, there are IDIs around here from private party sellers with three times as many miles (though I don't think I've ever seen one with a salvage title), and they want $4k+.

If I was in the market, I might buy a plane ticket.

That's a nice 1st-gen Cummins they've got, too, but $8995 is pretty steep for 245k miles.

If it was closer and I had a little more money to throw around, that 1992 460 they have would be really tempting.

It looks like it, but I can't see a GV logo, so it's hard to be sure.

That's a pretty ghetto radio bezel, too.

Yes. It's a GV switch. I have one, I don't need to be able to read "GV" to know what it is
