no ,I traded a 86 mustang gt for it-it needs some things-the paint is 6 years old and has some nicks and scratches,but that kinda lets me drive it more that way,not so afraid of blemishes-FUN TRUCK

thank ya'all again for the warm welcome and compliments-Hey rebel rider,do you like the headliner you put in? I was thinking of replacing mine with one but the cab is already small do you feel closed in with it or is it not as low as it looks-thanks guys,you have helped me decide to keep the truck,I was going to flip it and move on but its fun to drive and I am getting some great ideas looking at all your great rides
