that's right bitchessss :flipoff7:


Especially out in the desert here. AND what are you doing looking at trucks on my turf? :shame:






stupid smog, gov, traffic, people, more people.....:D
 
It has been repainted underneath.

The radiator hold down bolts are the wrong color(?) so its been out and why?

What is with the blue wire connectors near the wiper motor?

Yes it is clean, but then so is everything else in CA
yes it has been repainted

yes it probably has been restored or new parts added on.

The price probably reflects the cost in parts he has put in it.
 
Where are all the under hood stickers?

88k miles it should have all those.

Factory fire walls were never that clean in 74
 
I guess I never check that forum, so I am glad they are posted here.

No thanks mang, its BEAUTIFUL!!! but id feel guilty doing the diesel and axle swap on something that clean. its a gorgeous rig, but I'm not worthy :bow:






even if the price did drop to a reasonable level. :rolleyes:
 
I'm fairly confident that one had "0" pressed one time too many on accident.

As said before that is not "all original inside and out"

Door mirrors are wrong for the year, and trust me it requires body work and paint to swap to the style it currently has.

LMC grill
Underhood insulation looks aftermarket
Locking hubs on what should be a fulltime 4WD K5...and yes the 4 speed K5's in '74 had NP203's behind em.

Truss on the front diff

Underside paint would look that good for a few weeks tops, not 39 years.

Fuel tank is flat black...not factory so you know it's been out and painted. skid looks way to fresh to believe too.

Factory roll bar was black, not body color. Same with hood hinges...never body color. Lights and winch obviously not original...

38 years old and never been touched or restored.

Lying SOB.

Nice rig, just misrepresented.

Not all of them. I've been told it was an option, I have also been told it was standard if you ordered the vehicle with a V8, but the sixes still got the NP205. I would like to know the facts on that.

It is hard to tell from the pictures in that Craigslist add, but it appears to be an NP203 shifter.

Wasn't there one just like this listed maybe a year ago, I remember it as solid green with hub caps though, otherwise it looks identical to that one. It was listed by the original owner a year or so ago, maybe the second owner painted the white and put the factory styled rallies on?

I agree with ya Rene on most of this. My 73 had the roll bar painted body color. My buddies 74 also had the roll bar painted body color.

Both of us had the same mirrors as are on there.

I have seen at least 2 other full verts where the roll bar was body color. These were all Cheyenne models though, all with AC and what seems to be most of the factory options.

Not saying I have carnal knowledge of these just wanted to put that out there.

Its a sweet rig like you said but some douchebags just need to lie to get more value out of their stuff I suppose
