“Clean, rust-free body and frame. No engine, trans, t-case. Dana 25/Dana 44. Some light body damage but nothing significant. Has fuel tank, drive lines, roll cage, steering, 5 original steel 16″ rims.”
This sold in March 2014 for 1200$ in bonney lake in the same condition. Its rougher than it appears. Overpriced for its condition. And owner is evasive when asked direct questions.about it true condition. Willy
Thanks for the report!
