The truck is finished in dark red over black leather upholstery and is powered by a replacement 360ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Replaced the windshield washer tank, pump, spark plugs and ignition wires and installing an HEI distributor, an aluminum radiator, dual electric cooling fans, Thrush mufflers, and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and air cleaner. Equipment includes bed tie downs, running boards, a drop-in bed liner, 15″ Eagle Alloy wheels, a heater and defroster, an aftermarket Bluetooth stereo, and upgraded roof-mounted speakers.

Exterior equipment includes bed tie downs, running boards, chrome bumpers, a drop-in bed liner, and a sliding rear window. Touch up paint repair is visible around the body, the tailgate doesn’t open, and there are imperfections on the nose.

Eight-hole Eagle Alloy 15″ wheels are wrapped in older 35×12.5″ Marshal Road Venture tires. The parking brake cable, steering gear, and front track bar bushing were replaced. The suspension has been fitted with a lift kit, and the front axle is equipped with locking hubs. The bench seat was reupholstered in black leather in April 2021 and is joined by matching door panels. Additional interior details include a heater and defroster, an aftermarket Bluetooth stereo, upgraded roof-mounted speakers, and a body-color steel dashboard. The two-spoke steering wheel fronts an 85-mph speedometer and gauges for oil temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 80k miles.

The replacement 360ci V8 was reportedly installed during previous ownership. Work under current ownership consisted of replacing the spark plugs and ignition wires and installing an HEI distributor, an aluminum radiator, dual electric cooling fans, and an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and air cleaner.
