white ST, rubber floors, manual windows, gray vinyl seats. Truck has 217k on it.

Previous owner lost a head bolt when a shop re-torqued his headbolts for him, so he had the head cut, o-ringed, and ARP studs installed.

Pump is timed to 16*, custom fuel plate cut out of a TST 10, 4k GSK, AFC modded for rack travel. Truck currently has DDP4's with about 3k miles on them and an SPS62 turbo. 4" downpipe into 5" exhaust exiting in front of the rear tire.

I've got a base model Eclipse head unit with aux input and USB player capability, low-buck amp under the pass seat, 10" sub in a custom box that replaces the center seat. It's covered to look like a factory seat, and the factory armrest/console is bolted to it and looks/works as factory :) Infinity door speakers and tweeters with crossovers.

There's THREE rolls of Raam Auto RaamMat sound deadener in the interior including the roof. No cracks in the dash!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has boost and pyro gauges.

has a South Bend FE clutch in it, but it has started to slip if it gets too much fuel at lower RPM :o

The tranny DOES have a fully splined main shaft, but it's getting pretty notchy, and 3rd gear will grind here and there if you don't treat it just right...

truck was originally a 4.10 open diff, but previous owner swapped a 3.54 limited slip in it.

has greasable ball joints and the truck drives/tracks straight and true

new rotors, bearings, calipers, and pads up front a year ago, new greasable u-joints a year ago. new duralast gold batteries a year ago

LineX bedliner, a couple spots on the driver's bedside, but nothing major, now has black powdercoat wheels and a ranch hand rear pipe bumper.

asking $6500 with stock injectors and turbo. The clutch will hold stock injectors no problem. I have polished alloys if you prefer them over the black powdercoat. I also have the factory rear bumper and hitch that go with the truck.

trades considered

Forrest

headache rack is not included as it is company property.

I'm selling the truck because I'm changing jobs and no longer need it for work
 
working for an outfit that packages drilling rigs... I'm going to miss the $750/mo truck allowance and the free fuel, but the new gig should work out to almost double the money when it's all said and done
 
dangit, I thought I put it in the ad, that's a pet peeve of mine! :o

truck is located in Alvin, TX just south of Houston
 
turned in the toolboxes, headache rack, and compressor on Friday. MAN, this thing scoots with about 2k lbs less weight on it! LOL!

clutch doesn't slip in 1-4, it'll slip in 5th if you light it up too early, but not NEARLY as bad... if you roll into it at 2300, it'll slip at about 2500 and grab when the needle hits 2700. I think I'm going to jack the timing up to 20* or so so that it'll rev and make some power and to soften up the bottom end a little.

I burnt over half a tank of fuel on Friday afternoon cruising around suckering people into races :D
 
would you take 6000 for it?

not quite ready to go that low... after taking all that weight out of the bed and having so much fun w/ it the other day, and really thinking about how much I'm going to lose on it, AND with the price of diesel finally coming down... I'm not in such a rush to sell it :o

the truck IS for sale, I'm just not ready to basement the price at this point
 
Forrest how did you do the front bumper/grille?


I love the chrome rear bumper, you are really letting me down buddy:hehe:

it's got a black ranch-hand rear bumper on it now, and the wheels are powder black. I need to get some current pics of it :o

front bumper and grill are cheap ebay jobs... the factory plastics were flailing all over the place when I bought it and the grill was cracked, so I went with black stuff :D

of course, a dualy kicked a rock at me from its duals and put a little dent in the bumper and cracked the grill 3 days after I installed the new stuff! :bang
 
Chop the bed put a cage in it add some more parts and go racing.

yeah, we're thinking about putting an automatic in it... I've got a 64mm I could put on it, I've also got the twins, and some bigger sticks on hand :o

seems like when you're not looking for a decent truck for a good price, they're everywhere, but when you're trying to find a decent 12v, they're all ragged out :(

Looks good all black. I hate chrome almost as much as you do:D
