It is in turn key and drive home and enjoy immediately today condition. I just drove this truck 180 miles one way and everything worked exactly as it should. It fires right up, runs well, shifts well, stops well, and drives well. This truck retains it's original drivetrain including the 360V8, 727 automatic 3-speed transmission, and 3:55 posi rearend. Only 5118 of these trucks were produced and who knows even how many exist today.  This truck's owner has completed a frame on restoration over the last few years. Please take the time to look over all 24 photos listed here on the auction. I can provide many more photos should any prospective buyer want them. Just call and ask for them. I have a very thorough compilation of documentation in hand for this truck. All the details are as follows:

Original selling dealer's sales invoice ticket for purchase & deal jacket

There is a small emissions connector pipe behind the passenger side exhaust manifold that was blocked off. It makes an exhaust tick that you can hear.  
Summit Racing Performance power package installed on engine at approximately 50,000 miles which included a performance cam & lifter set, Edelbrock performer aluminum intake manifold, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and double roller steel timing chain and gears set
Underhood appears to have dirty inner fenderwells. This actually is either the factory or dealer applied undercoating which helped to preserve the truck but sprayed all in the painted steel areas of the inner fender wells. 
BODY & COSMETICS
The truck received a professional paint job a few years back in Viper Red since at the time the Lil' Red color was unavailable and this is the closest shade to match the original paint color. The paint job is still in great shape and clean and shiny.  There is one scratch along the lower rear fender on the passenger side right at the bottom of the fender. The exterior wood on the bed was also replaced at the same time and still presents very well. The driver's side floor was also replaced at that time with a reproduction exact fit floor pan. It was professionally removed, welded and seam sealed back in and then painted black. The bed has been recently restored/replaced with all original boards removed and used as templates for new oak boards which were then coated in marine grade varnish on the top and bottom to protect them. A chrome plated stainless steel strap and carriage bolt kit was used to bolt down the planks to fasten everything up and it looks great. New chrome plated tailgate chains were also installed. They have clear plastic protective sleeves on them as well.
Undercarriage of the truck is in good condition. No rot.  Some frame surface rust but no holes at all. This truck was either dealer or factory undercoated which protected and preserved the undercarriage. 
The original "Astro" wheels are in fair condition. They were known for surface rust. These do have some but again they are the original wheels. The rear BF-Goodrich tires are in like new condition. The front tires have about 70% tread on them. I also have the original full size matching spare with original Goodyear tire. 
INTERIOR:
The interior is in very good condition. The padded dash is in great shape with no cracks. All gauges work. The original radio is not working. Lighting is in good working condition. Head lights (hi/low beams), tail lights, turn signals all working. The seats were reupholstered some years ago in a simple plain black vinyl covering. Drivers side is developing a small crack along edge where you slide into the seat when entering the truck. The carpet has been replaced. The only item that could use replacement is the door rubber weatherstripping. It is old and has dried out and cracked in spots.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
