New interstate battery. New rotors and pads.
The fuel system has a sumped tank mounted under the rear of the bed with a hinged door, has a MSD inline pump and it a return style system.
Exhaust is 2.5" Y'd together into a single 3" into a 3" two chamber flow with a turn down.
It has a built th400 with a circle D 3800 stall and a trans brake. The trans was built by a local shop and was guaranteed to hold up to 1000hp. it alone was $1800

driveshaft made by Kevins machine.
The rear end is a 12 bolt with 3:73's.
The wheels are centerline polished aluminum. not sure of the model of them.
The interior is in good shape. has a nice seat (redone) and currently has a dash cap but i have a really good shape factory dash pad for it.
Has a cd player and new 6x9's for the cab corners and 2 JBL 10's and an american pro amp.
The body is in decent shape. ZERO RUST. The roll pan needs a little work in the seam. and the upper cab corners need a little work but not bad at all.
I have a NOS 75 dry shot for the truck also. its wired up and ready to go but needs a line to run to the bottle and a bottle bracket to mount the bottle up to be functional.
The intior pic is old and is dirty. i have since cleaned up. the under hood pic was shortly after i got it running and have since did alot of wire hiding and under hood cleaning.

I know man. I really wanted to get it painted but in my area there is a few delima that will make it very inconvenient for me.
1. No dependable body shops around. The last time a buddy had his stang up there getting painted we saw it in a town over at some guys house who worked there. long story after that.
2. No other body shops around that are good.
3. The only other option that would be good and dependable is a dealership that has a really good colission shop and also do full jobs but will cost 6k+ and i just cant afford to sink 3-5X what a any other decent shop quoted me.

yea, that mpg sounds about right. not bad considering with the original motoe it would prolly get 10-12 and not have half the power. lol. I would imagine its probly not too slow either bc i know the 5.3's in the newer model single cab trucks run almost in the 14's stock. Good luck with the sale. If u happen to have it still when im looking id def. consider it

I do. There on my little phone card at work. will get them up this after noon. i took a pic of the rear end while i had it on the rack. but for what ever reason the glare of the sun made the picture come out extremely crappy.

Ok guys, As of lunch time tommorow the truck will have a new dash pad, new inner fender liner, the "in glass" antenna will be hooked up for the radio and a set of 2" lowering springs will be installed on the front of the truck to bring it down.
And just to make this a little more interesting i will pay a finders fee of $100 to anyone who gets it sold or directs me to someone who will buy it. Wil pay however you like.
