Nope..so i asked a price..he said hows $1500. so i bought it. changed all oils.filters.and checked it out, all i could find was worn out frt axle U joints. i had a new windshield installed and a 4500 lb winch in the box to load the old snowmobiles i buy and repair and sell. it came with new frt fenders and these flares, will put the fenders on in summer,

Why swap fenders. These old trucks, if there are dents or rust in the fenders, people don't cut them off in traffic. I have a slightly older version, a '96, and it runs and runs but doesn't get cut off.
