Wow, sweet truck! It looks like incredible condition for it's age. The previous owner must have taken great care of it.

 

Rear wheel arches look rotted though - typically for rust belt, but not the desert. Did the truck spend some time in the northeast?

 

Overall the truck is in awesome condition. There are no squeaks, groans, growls, or vibrations that should not be there.

The truck was bought outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado, which is where it was bought new by a friend of the guy I bought it from.

This particular truck WAS to be my right-of-way truck for working up here in North Dakota in the Bakken oil field. However, my brother liked the truck so much that he swapped me HIS right-of-way truck.... and here it is...



The red truck is on an 8" Rancho lift, with basically 34.5" tires. It is a '97, so 9 years younger than the tan truck. There are also about 60k fewer miles on the red truck, which has the 460 in it, MUWHAHAHAHHAHA.

 

 

Where can I get a center console like that for a bench seat
