This one followed us home this evening.

And I just ordered a new fluid damper for it...
Very nice!
Love the color combo.
The short list on this one is a new harmonic balancer, a recovered dash pad, and installing the AC delete cover.
I gotta admit, when I first saw this title I thought it was pigpen!
Sweet find!

Nice find, what are your plans for it.
Is it a runner or does it require some TLC

Shitbox doesnt exactly describe that... Looks pretty damn clean all told.
It is a good runner other than the noise from the harmonic balancer failing, so that needs to be fixed ASAP before any damage to the engine.
The steering column has slop. The PO went in to tighten the typical loose screws but it didn't fix it 100%. I'll need to tear into that and figure out what is wrong. It also needs at least one joint on the drag link replaced.
The interior needs a Dashpad.

Did someone remove the AC?

Yes, the seller included an AC delete cover that he was going to install but didn't finish.
Did he include the parts removed?

No, but I will probably find a donor to fix it at some point.
Options are interesting in this truck. Power locks but manual window cranks. Factory sliding window and AC as well.
And it turns out the noise is not the harmonic balancer but rather the main pulley. Luckily, I have a spare from a low mile 6.5L.
In reality those are good options! The power windows always give trouble.
Does it have wiper delay?

Still can't over how clean the truck is.
Any clue what "YH8" Gold Medal Special option might be?
