General comments?
Love this truck it has a 350 c.i. runs real strong has the 4spd. transmission with floating rear axle aint got air, but got plenty of vents, had an aftermarket stereo installed. 4x4 works great never had a problem with it so far. mine is a step side so it was a little bit of a rare find. It actually don't get that bad of gas mileage it pushin around 12 to 16. it rides good and has the low end torque of a monster truck. you kick that four barrel in when your in first it will fishtail on a dry road.
