To clarify for the thickheaded such as myself, the truck will be making an appearance at challenge and be for sale following said event?
Yes, that's correct. The truck will be participating at the Challenge and be for sale immediately afterward. But if it doesn't sell AT the Challenge, it's still for sale. I'm located in Bradenton, FL. The truck has about 180k miles and is 100% rust free.
I just remembered the truck has a pretty decent aftermarket stereo system with an 8" sub behind the passenger seat.

I can't quite tell from the pics - does it have a hitch?

It has a ball bolted on the bumper, and a pigtail for lights but that's all.
The want is strong with this one.

What else can you tell me about the truck?
- Miles
- Auto Transmission?
- Potential daily driver duty or is this strictly for cone crushing
Thanks!
In reply to Willis :
180k, auto trans, could be a daily, but the 4.10 gears means it revs high on the highway. Comfortable cruising speed is 65 ish. Interior door cards were trashed and expensive/hard to replace. So I took them off and painted the metal doors black to match the new carpet. It looks decent but worth noting. It's sporting an old cheap respray but it has cool patina
Gosh that is a cool truck.
If you don't mind me asking what is the backspacing on those wheels? they look great!
Good luck with the sale.
I don't recall the backspacing, but I did use spacers to fine tune the offsets. 2" rear and I think 1/2" or 3/4" front.
Also, the dash is complete crap underneath the carpet dash cover and there is some body work on the passenger side where the cab meets the bed.

I have a line on something I'm chasing up here, but I am interested. My brother in law lives in Bradenton so I would need to coordinate. Will PM if my other line goes dead.
Dang, if I knew whether or not my S10 was going to work out, I'd know whether or not I'd be interested in this. If no one has bought it by the challenge, I may check it out down there if my project fails.
Here are some interior photos. The drivers door now matches the passenger door. 4 point harnesses and stock belts in place.

You're right about the doorcards, stupid expensive for what you get. I wound up replacing the ones in my truck with a set from the front doors of a Suburban, was lucky enough to find a decent set at the pick n pull. Most of those dashes crack in the 88-94 model years, I wound up replacing mine with a junkyard part, most dash parts are NLA for these, even from the "restoration" parts suppliers. Can I ask who makes the fender flares, they look awesome. GLWS
Yeah, I've looked for door cards on several junkyard trips, but if they're not gone already, they're torn to E36 M3 on every vehicle. The fender flares were an ebay purchase. I don't know what brand, Chinese no doubt.

The flares look like bushwhackers
