Awright, finally got out to see it. It suffered from the typical clear-coat stuff, and with a red truck it was evidently bad enough to justify a trip to something inexpensive to spray some more red onto it. Poor maksing job, and rampant overspray...and fish-eyes all ova the hood. Some sort of trailer brake install that disables the anti-lock( or at least the lights come on when you push the pedal. Truck stops fine though. It is a solid body everywhere I looked. It alledgedly has steeper gears installed so it oculd drag a 5th through the mountains. I did not examine the claimed paperwork documenting this...the hood sticker says 3.5 gears. By the time I heard this I was pretty much not interested in paying what he is asking...maybe I'll go back in a bit. He's an estate sifter, and that truck isn't the only thing I'd consider buying from him. It lit right up when I twisted the key, and made 20 psi of boost according to its gage. Pyro installed, with warning not to exceed 900F...didn't look again to see if it was a post-turbo stinger. Tamper-proof missing from the full-power screw, but intact on the high-idle. Trans shifts well, and OD works( as does its switch ).
cheers,
