GarageScout Take
Its county forest-road provenance is matched by a documented return to the four-speed after an automatic retrofit, with the repaired cross member and drivetrain work recorded.
Strengths
- County-fleet provenance from its original use maintaining forest access roads.
- Replacement 318ci V8 installed in 2022 with electronic ignition and Magnaflow exhaust components.
- The drivetrain received 2022 service, including the transmission, transfer case, differentials, clutch, and flywheel.
- An owner's manual and clean Utah title accompany the truck.
Watch For
- Corrosion is present behind the front fender wells and around the vents; the seller says rust arrestor was applied before repainting.
- The cross member had been cut for a previous automatic transmission, with replacement metal welded in place.
