I just picked up this truck Saturday. After looking around in both PA and New Jersey as well as visiting various goverment sites I found this garage kept beauty 9 miles from home. Unfortunately, the gentleman who owned this suffered a stroke and was unable to drive it. With 55,000 original owner miles, factory bed liner, tonneau(sp?) cover, no rust, good tires, cold a/c, great heat, no rot and all the service documemntation it was a no brainer. The 5.7 liter pulls my bass boat with ease and will be a great roof cleaning rig by Monday. With a little luck it will be lettered within three weeks. I ended up paying $3500.00.

Nice truck at a nice price!
IMHO the GM small block is probably the best engine ever made.

Here are some photos of the truck with the tanks, etc. We've been busy with roofs so I didn't get a chance to mount the pressure washer. Nothing fancy but it works for us.
Very nice set up Hank and that's a cool looking truck

Rich and Ginty,
Thanks. This truck is proving to be not only a great work truck but a back up to my Chevy Suburban for towing my bass boat. Last weekend we towed the boat up to Lake Champlain(Ticonderoga) for some fun fishing with this truck. My suburban was in the shop getting a new water pump. The truck had everything on it as seen in the photos.
We are making brackets to mount a generator on the ladder rack above the cab. This generator will run our booster pump next year. The generator will have a aluminum diamond plate box covering it to protect it from the elements when parked.
