I'm selling my ol' 99 as a PARTS TRUCK due to the fact that the frame is cracked in two places. I had my shop teacher weld up the cracks but it probably won't hold long. He said the frame is too thin and rotted. At this point i'd just like to get the truck out of my driveway and if it's not sold soon i'll end up parting it out. The engine has 185k miles on it. Automatic transmission. It has a 7.5 open rear end. 3.73 gears. I have changed the oil every 3k miles or less since i've owned it at 174k miles. I changed the trans fluid at about 183k miles, same with the rear diff. I didn't touch the front diff or the t-case. The fuel filter was also changed at about 183k miles along with spark plugs, wires, and PCV valve. The exterior isn't even close to perfect. Lots of paint chips on the bumpers and scratches in various spots on the truck. The front of the bed is rusted through. Three of the bed bolts stripped when I removed the bed once. They were replaced with bolts and nuts. A section of the rear frame has already been replaced because it was rusted out so bad. Spare tire carrier is completely gone. The interior has a rubber floor. The cloth seats in it are going into my new ranger. The truck with have the same seats but with two cuts in the seats and the passenger recliner lever is broken off. I believe I have a passenger seat in the garage which I will include. The wheels/tires on the truck are also going onto my new truck so this truck will have a set of 15s with 31x10.50x15 Uniroyal ATs. The tires are in good shape but these tires are practically brand new. I redid the brakes when I bought it. All new hardware, wheel cylinders, shoes, drums, and lines running to the rear and across the axles. The front rotors and pads are going onto my truck since they are about new and i'll swap whats on my new truck onto this. I don't want to part the truck out just yet. Please don't ask for particular parts just yet, I will start a part out thread when and if I decide to. I did a compression test at 181k miles. To simplify this, Cylinders 1,2,3 are on the drivers side looking at the engine from the front of the truck. 4,5,6 are on the passenger side...

If you're interested or have any questions you can post here, PM me, or email me at tom_connelly@live.com My zip code is 28326 (Cameron, NC)
I think i've covered just about everything. I will take some pictures of the interior tomorrow when it's not dark outside.
I would like to get $2000. I know the crack is really working against me here and i'm losing money even at $2000. If you have a serious and reasonable offer I probably won't refuse.
I'll update this post with interior shots tomorrow







The toolbox on the truck is not going with the truck, but there is a CB radio in the truck i'll leave in there and i'll throw in the antenna too.
More pictures I just took:
