Comments
Engine/lEngine Compartment
The engine compartment was clean and well maintained. Owner said the engine has been completely rebuilt, including a balanced rotating assembly, upgraded with an increased-displacement crankshaft, a performance camshaft, high-compression cylinder heads, a high-flow intake manifold, four-barrel carburetor, a high-torque starter, electronic ignition, and custom tubular exhaust manifolds. The engine was equipped with a number of dress-up items including cast-aluminum valve covers, spark-plug wire looms, and chrome air-filter housing. An electric cooling fan had also been installed. All engine- compartment surfaces were painted. Belts and hoses appeared in very good condition, and wiring was properly routed and secured. There were no visible fluid leaks.
Chassis
The frame and suspension appeared in very good condition with no significant fluid leaks from the transmission, transfer case, or front and rear differentials. The custom-fitted, aluminized dual exhaust system was also in very good condition. The system comprised 3-in. exhaust tubing from the exhaust manifold to the mufflers, and 2 Y:z-intubing for the tailpipes, which had chrome tips. Wheels were aftennarket NASCAR-style powder-coated steet equipped with chrome center caps and lug nuts and all were in excellent condition. Tires were 35X12.50X15L T radials which showed excellent tread, with no unusual or irregular wear patterns. Owner said the transmission, transfer case, and front and rear differentials had all been completely rebuilt, and the clutch had been replaced. The transfer case is a 1975 Ford Bronco unit and the rear differential is a Ford 9-in unit with traction control.
All suspension components, including shocks and suspension bushings were new, as were all brake system components. The rear suspension has been upgraded with traction bars to eliminate rear axle tramp.
Interior
The interior was all new and in excellent condition. The seat is upholstered in a custom vinyl and cloth combination and the door panels, headliner, and padded dash are aftermarket original-style pieces. New cut-pile carpet was also installed, and owner said the cab interior received extensive sound proofing. The dash was equipped with a fun set of gauges incruding speedometer, tachometer, water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel gauge. The steering column was fitted with an aftermarket leather wrapped steering wheel with poltsned-aluminurn spokes. All interior metal surfaces were freshly painted. A new AMIFM/CDsound system was installed. All interior handles and ***** were in very good condition, as were the transmission floor shift and front-wheel-drive control.
Exterior
The exterior of the truck had been newly refinished in base-coat/clear-coat paint in the original collor, and the paint showed excellent gloss and reflectivity. The finish appeared to have been applied over ~I well- prepared surface, and fit of the doors, tailgate and hood was very good. The bed's front panel, side panels, and tailgate were all new. The front bumper was in excellent condition, and all trim, bezels, and emblems appeared original and were in goOd condition. The grille was original and in good condition, showing only a few minor dings in the grille surround. All glass was original with the exception of the windshield, and was in very good condition. The bed floor was fitted with new oak flooring and attachment strips painted body-color. The bed side interior was coated with a coror-coordinated Rhino liner material.
Summary Comments

Condition Grade: #3
Description of #3 Condition:
Very Good - Completely operable original or older restoration showing wear. Also, a good amateur
restoration, aI/ presentable and serviceable inside and out. Plus, combinations of well-done restoration and good operable components; or a partially restored car with all parts necessary to complete it, and/or valuable NOS parts. This is a 20-footer. That is, from 20 feet away, it may look pertea. But as we approach it, we begin to notice that the paint may be getting a little thin in spots from frequent washing and polishing. Looking inside, we might detect some wear on the driver's seat, foot pedals, and carpeting. The chrome trim, while still quite presentable, may have lost the sharp mirror-like reflective quality it had when new. All systems and equipment on the car are in good operating order. In general most of the vehicles seen at car shows are no. 3 vehicles. (Source: Old Cars Price Guide)
