I can't find anything wrong with it??? But I only found pictures of the inside.
My lower door edges and front fenders are completely shot and will have to replace both doors and fenders eventually. Hoping to do that this year.
The box is ugly, but still solid, so I might be able to stretch another year out of it. Plan to make a new one out of aluminum with fiberglass sides eventually.
Did I mention I hate rust?
I can't complain though. The truck has new gears, tranny and engine and drives better than new. The engine turns so low in overdrive, that you can hardly hear it once its in 4th. On a good day I can make the 200 mile run from campbell river to nanaimo and back on 40L of fuel. Pulled it off on 35L a few times.
Lets see a 6.4L do that LMAO!!

Now I'm really confused. Your truck looks to be a 1992 bodystyle. That should have an overdrive from factory.
OK, lets hear it. What did you do to it? LOL
I think around sooke all the posted speed limits are 90kph or less, so its not so bad down there. From campbell river all the way to parksville its 4 lane 110kph. Although being 2 open lanes both ways, you don't get dirty looks for going a little under the limit.
