I will continue to update this thread with photographs and information that has slipped my mind. Truck is a white standard cab. It needs a new vacuum pump gasket, some body patch work in a few spots, and an oil leak or two fixed. It drives like a top and runs like an ape. I'm selling because I'm starting a family with the wife and looking to just get something we can all fit in and have fun (2012 power wagon more than likely). Truck has around 170k on the clock overall (odometer registers mid 150s but bigger tires make it read a bit slower than it should). Asking $11,000 as is. Come have a look and drive it away. I'm located in Laurel, Delaware.

Feel free to text questions to 443-497-0837 during week days or call during weekends. Thanks. Nick
