Yes indeed it is that good all around And at $2990.00 I am more than happy with it Interior is in perfect shape, just missing one of the dash trim pieces, a small one by the steering wheel.

Looks pretty good with the exception of rust on the bed. Polish those alcoas out a bit and get them shining like new and your good to go! Nice find and hope you enjoy it.

Thanks, and yeah the bed rust sucks, there is some under the ext. cab behind the doors too, you can't see it in the pics. But I think it is in great shape for having so many miles. I'm gonna enjoy the heck outta it.

That looks great. I like it. Gotta love these old Ford trucks.

Why would you polish the factory alcoas, they are clear coated? I just wash mine with car wash soap.

Wheel polish is for bare aluminum wheels not coated ones.

His look more dull than normal, but maybe it's just the picture? They look like the salt has pull the clear coat off and they are bare now, but who knows. Still a nice looking truck IMO.
