I looked for 2 years for this truck and finally found it in Pennsylvia in 2004 and had it titled in August 2004 showing 76,185 miles. It now has 84,060. Less than 1,000 miles per year. I have a second truck which you can see parked  behind this one,which gets double what this big block 454 gets. 9 mpg when travelling empty or small load and only 7mpg when pulling trailer with skid loader on it.  I bought the truck and trailer to pull the skid loader but have only taken it out from the farm 4 times to do local work on properties we own, plus at a church camp 14 miles away. 1984 was the last year a pick up with a 454 could be titled without a catalytic converter which is what I was looking for. I was also looking for the fuel pump to be outside the fuel tank. This truck is much easier to work on than the '88 and later ones. I have replaced the starter and have no problems starting it, even in the winter. The last time I took this truck off the farm was in October of 2012. It sits in the shed waiting to be used which is not often. It's black on the outside and I'm not sure what the color of the seat is. I bought this truck from a man who rebuilt the cab and fenders and hood and tailgate from a rollover. He stored it in his basement garage until his wife got a new car 7 years later. When I bought it from him it was sitting along side the road with a for sale sign on it and the choke was stuck. Ran really poorly until it was freed and then I drove it maybe 150 miles home from somewhere near Pittsburg. There are a number of little things that I have never gotten around to correcting, such as the power locks do not work, one of the electric window switches goes on the blink every once in awhile. The air conditioning did not work when I bought it and I didn't plan on using it so it is still there but not working. The turn signals are not self cancelling so you have to turn them off like back in the old days, which speaking of old, I'm 69 years old. Truck has brand new Goodwrich T&A mounted on 8 bolt aluminim rims with 2 of the lugnut bolts brocken off by the inspection station back in 2004. Never replaced them--one of the pics shows them. The new BF Goodrichs are  33x12.5x16.5 and they do deliver the power to the road really well. I can drive this truck 50 miles one way to deliver before the end of August. Pay deposit on paypal and the rest in cash in person. The motor and transmission and rears seem to be fine and when I go out I expect to come back and that's what the truck does. The kid in the window thought he was going to get the truck when he turned 18 but that's not going to happen. Dog in the picture just caught a groundhog and she doesn't know that the truck is being sold. Car has been smoked in, but not since I've owned it. Dog always rode along on her own blanket, her name is Buckle. No spare tire. Yes to a jack. New battery. New top and bottom radiator hoses.
