Again, I bought the truck after sitting for at least a year. Upon checking the truck out I had to replace the battery and a couple fuses to even see if the truck was worth purchasing. New battery and it cranked right over. It had been sitting under a tree, the paint was horrible. It had a very thick layer of sap/scum/dirt all over it. The plastic mirrors were cracked and faded, headlight were foggy. The windshield wipers didn't work, and the dark green truck looked grey in some spots in blue in others. The wheels were oxidized badly. I purchased the truck, and in my off time I got it back to looking decent. New headlights, painted the chrome grill and light trim satin black, I also painted the bumpers satin black, a number of coats and then some clear. The wiper motor was shot, so that got replaced. I ordered new headlights and black mirrors as opposed to chrome. I took off the chrome wheel arches and the chrome/plastic body belt line trim. I cut and buffed the paint one good time, and it looks much better, but Im gonna try one more time with a slightly more aggressive pad. I bought some duplicolor grey wheel paint and it really helped. For being a 1993, the interior is in very good shape. There were a couple stains on the carpet where the feet go, but no holes at all. So I re-dyed the carpet and it looks pretty good. The last things I have to do are new tires, 2" leveling kit and 2" block in the rear, and im getting some vinyl wrap to wrap the chrome windshield trim. I have tried posting pictures, for some reason I cant. If someone would like to post them for me I will gladly text them to you.

Where are you located? Want to know because my chrome wheel arches are all bent up, been looking for some in good shape.

Too far for me to drive, was hoping you were closer. I don't even know what it would cost to mail them and they would probably get bent up but I'll just keep looking around here.

K9Kodi

okay if you change your mind let me know. I can always check on shipping, I just ask that you cover shipping, I don't want any money for the parts

Sounds like the condition of mine when I got it only someone had tried to drive through mine.
