This truck was built just over 5 years ago and has been my daily driver since. This truck was professionally built from the frame up and drives like brand new. Over the last five years the Axles were upgraded to the 4. 56's(30k miles ago). The manual transmission and 355 were put in less than 10k miles age. The fuel injected engine has plenty of power and torque and sounds as awesome as it is to drive. The engine is in front of the desirable nv4500 cast iron 5 speed manual transmission with overdrive. The steering is nice and tight and handles like a sports car (subject to opinion). The brakes are in Great shape and the pedal is right at the top. This truck is very unique and gets a ton of attention. If you want a reliable truck that will go just about anywhere this is it. True 4 wheel drive. the front axle has a limited slip posi. and the rear axle has a detroit locker. I am only selling this truck because I am almost finished with my next build (another crew cab from the 80's. you cant beat these things) and could use the cash to finish it up. The pics tell the story. I will assist in the loading if you have a carrier pick it up. The truck weighs about 6700lbs. and is about 19' 6" overall length.

(33 gallons Sprayed over 5 years ago. The bed liner has proven to be almost indestructible. ) This truck was completely disassembled and built from the frame up. The custom bedliner finish was extremely labor intensive. The doors. fenders. hood and cab were sprayed inside and out. The tool box is even bed lined. The bottom of the box and cab were undercoated. The liner is paintable. however this truck was sprayed green with a custom color liner. Should it need any repairs in the future any Linex dealer could color match and spray it. -The Short Bed conversion was done by moving the rear axle and suspension forward 14. 5". The frame was only cut in the very rear. the center section is untouched. (gm never made a short bed crew cab in this body style) The truck drives perfectly straight and does not dog track. -Fresh 355 fuel injected engine. less than 10k miles controlled by a custom 411 ls computer and harness.
