Great running 97 12V with the NV4500 (updated trans, with newer mainshaft). This thing has a whole host of new parts, and they are all the best of the best.

The good:
12mm ARP Head Studs (135lbs)
.010 Headgasket
Head milled and O-Rings installed, along with 3 angle valve job (not 5 angle)
Thuren track bar
Bilstein 5150 Shocks
ProComp X-Terrains (315/75R16)
Haisley Kicker Pump
215HP P-Pump
Freshly Rebuilt NP241DHD
Brand New NV4500 w/ Con FE 13" Clutch
Dual 6" Mitre Cut stacks
MBRP Muffler
#0 Fuel plate and AFC mods (nothing big)
New lift pump and fuel lines
RanchHand Front Bumper w/ Hella 500 Lights
Rhino Lining
BHAF
Siruis Radio and JVC Headunit (with built in Bluetooth)
Moog Front Balljoints
Mag-Hytec rear Diff cover (and fresh gear oil in both diff's)
B&W Turnover Hitch
Bosch Wiper Blades ($25 a piece)
Centerline Wheels
Fender Flares, Putco Stainless Rail Caps
and more...

The Bad:
Typical drivers seat tear
Passenger side window switch half works
Typical steering slop
Odometer is shot (works now and then, shows 249K, actually between 290K and 310K)
Dent in passenger side cab, (door molding is missing)
Few spots on the body had rust spots fixed by PO that don't match right, but aren't noticeable unless you look for them.

I have 3 of these trucks, and this is the one that I love the most, however, I need something with 4 doors, and the other 2 trucks are for the business. As you can tell, nothing is skimped on here, there is over $10,000 worth of work here between parts and labor, the headwork alone was over $1k, not including installing the head and studs and everything else. When the head was off everything looked pristine, still had cross-hatching on the cylinder walls. New trans was $1500+$750 for the clutch+the install, and the T-case was $1k plus the install. Right there you're near $4k and that doesn't cover half the work on this thing. It's a beast of a truck, pulled many a Chevy and Ford out, and never busted anything trying. If you want a tough, reliable, quality built truck, this is it.

Would be willing to trade for a QC 4x4 Truck, or a 4x4 wheeler plus cash.
