It runs and moves, better than the last purchase I did.

Has a miss in one cylinder. Doesn't knock or tick but oil gauge is not coming up. Might be the sending unit, oil looked fine. I'll hook a real gauge to it before I fire it up the next time. The cam synch might be snapped, I think the miss is electrical it does not smell like a head gasket and doesn't sound like a valve or lifter. Oil and water full.

Black grill, no chrome. Black bumpers. Rubber and no carpet. Tan interior. Non smoker, thing smells like the rubber on the floor. Tires are good, over 50%.

Has that baby LS rear, the F7 which I have never seen before.

Frame is VERY good, funny one of the cross braces is real rusty like it was from another truck. Usually the frame is wasted in this situation but I spent 15 minutes under it with a light and it is fine.

It is like 20 times the last truck I bought, only 200 more.

Preliminary plans are... if the motor can be fixed easily the trans and interior from the POS i bought last time will fit it. The trans on the POS is allegedly good but I'm taking a chance.
