I purchased this great truck from the original owner's wife several months ago with the intent to keep it for a long time. Now I need to sell it due to losing my storage spot. The Owner was a Diesel Mechanic who worked on Diesel Emissions systems for Big Rigs so he knew his stuff. It's never been smoked in and he babied it and changed the oil every 3000 miles. I even have the original "build sheet. He always made certain to keep CSA in the cooling system. I keep CSA in it as well. I paid 5K and just put 3K+ into it to get it running great. It only has 90,000 original miles on it and that's verified with Car-fax and through the California DMV Registration. There is no play in the steering and it tracks straight and true down the road. The Ford (AOD) Automatic Over Drive transmission shifts perfectly. It downshifts when needed does it's job by finding and staying in the correct gear. I added sound deadening to the doors and now it's quiet similar to a more modern diesel. It's easy to talk on the phone or listen to the radio. No diesel drone.
The interior is a 9 out of 10. As you can see from the pictures; the seats, doors, carpet, door panels, headliner and dash are all in excellent condition. The seats (no tears) and carpet have always been covered. There are no cracks in the dash or doors or anywhere. Everything works except the fuel gauge for the front fuel tank. Both fuel tanks work fine, but just the rear tank registers fuel. I use the front tank for about 150 miles then switch to the rear. I am told this is a $200 fix but I forgot to get it done the last time I had it in with my mechanic (Dynamic Diesel, Yucaipa CA).
Everything else works: Tachometer, Speedometer, Temp Gauge, Battery Charging Gauge, Oil Pressure Gauge, Cruise Control, Horn, Windows, Blinkers, High and Low Beam Lights, Automatic Door Locks, Interior Dome Light, Dash Lights, Running Lights, Wipers and Washer, Radio, Turbo Boost Guage, Exhaust Temp Gauge, Air Conditioning (from all vents), Heater (from all vents) and anything else that is on it.

New Fuel Injectors
New Glow Plugs
New Glow Plug Controller (it works) It starts right up every time.
New Fuel Return Lines
New Thermometer
New Air Conditioning Compressor
New Air Conditioning Accumulator/Drier

It also has a Draw-Tite Trailer Brake System. The light comes on when I move the lever but I have never used it.
The GEM Top is made of Metal I think

it's steel. It's very sturdy and has a rubber seal to the back window.
