The wipers are not working right now. See seller for more info. There are minor misc scratches around the vehicle. Normal for mileage and most too small to see in photos. Notable chips on the front fenders. The wooden truck bed exhibits a little worn but no major structural damage found during inspection, consistent with age and the location of the garage.

There is some light cracking in the steering wheel. Both windows roll down and up pretty well, but the left hand window. When it rolls down into the door, it makes a kind of scraping noise. There were no indications of smoke or unusual odors.

Engine leak located on the front of the engine near the pulley/belt, see photo 13. It appears that it has an added some kind of electronic equipment installed in the engine, see photo 16. A new alternator, see photo 17. Lastly, the tachometer that sits under the dash, it is working before the road test, however, it does not work after driving.

No obvious leaks were noted from the engine and transmission areas.
