I used to drive it for a while, I used it to pull a gooseneck trailer with a couple of tractors on it. Pulled a few houses with it, ran great, shifted even better, and the only rust is on the tool boxes that was installed. Just surface rust,,, Im not afraid of running into a DOT,, Ive always did a professional job out on the road keeping things in good shape. The truck is in great shape mechanicly, and yep, clutch and tranny has been done too,,, I like the idea of running an older truck, but restored right,,, Im not afraid of a truck that I know,,,,,, If I was to drag it out of a junkyard and fix it, well,,,,, thats different. Frame is not rusty, no leaks on the engine/tranny,,, its mostly needing rewired,,, cab interior is a little rough, but its cardboard wrapped in vynil to redo the panels. Ill put ya on a picture in a day or so.
