This truck started life as a Texas Border Patrol vehicle. It was setup with a cage in the back and a heavy duty tow package that was well-used. Maybe towing a horse trailer.....?While it was very plain on the inside - baby shit brown interior, rubber flooring, no side panels - it came with all the good mechanical stuff - AC, oil cooler, etc.... I purchased it in 93. The first upgrade was to remove the pinner 29s, and it has been open-wallet since then
Here is the list:
6" lift - ORD shackle flip in the rear, ORD HD shackles in the front, zero rates, 1" body lift
