The headliner is gone - what's left is drooping down into the cabin so I'm just going to rip the rest of it out. It starts and runs, not well, but it runs. I'm sure I'll need to do a full preventive maintenance schedule on it - belts, hoses, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, etc. The body seems to be in good shape other than than the wonderful Chevy "Paid to Fade" paint.
It's had a full suspension lift. Looks like it was done pretty well, except they used 4" blocks in the rear and 6" springs in the front. It looks like it's driving uphill all the time. I'm pretty sure the tie-rod ends are trashed but that's a 15 minute job. I'd put good money on the brake rotors being history, too.
Yes, it's 4WD. It has plenty of tire and rim (supposedly 35's). I think the big tires (and probably a lot of mud running by the former owner) has done a pretty thorough job of cornholing the tranny. It drives fine most of the time, but if you hammer it hard you can feel the tranny sloop-slurping from gear to gear. Heck, I don't even know which tranny the thing has. 700R4 maybe?
Oh well... it's going to be a project toy anyway. At least the body, suspension, and interior are still mostly okay. Even if I start putting a little money it in I'm still way better off than if I'd hauled off and bought some ragged-out POS somewhere else.
