Congrats! Very nice and with the seldom seen New Process 833 transmission. A rare option.

I agree, I don't believe I've ever saw a 4 speed that didn't have the truck 4 speed, granny tranny in them!

Appreciate that. Truck got picked up an hour ago so finally on its way to me.
Ready for detailing, full inspection, fluid change, tonneau cover, topper removal, center console…possibly paint correction and ceramic coating

She arrived off enclosed carrier this weekend- literally showroom new from top, interior to bottom...crazy. Topper immediately removed and tonneau installed

IDK, that topper kind of looks cool.

My wife agreed, but I think mostly because she didn’t want to help move it. Came off easy enough might go back on for camping…

The truck looks way better without the top, but if there were any truck on the road that was cool with a topper it would be a square!

Yeppers, looks good. I'd keep topper if you camp etc then. It is a nice match, keeps it clean, and we'll if you camp...

That was money well spent, great to hear it is just as good in person as it looked in the pictures. What did you get for a tonneau? Also, if you get a chance at some point, can you post some pics of your headliner trim? I need to install one in mine that never had it and just want to verify how it is supposed to look factory.

@Bloodhound1981...
I bought an Extang trifecta 2.0 tonneau for it- so far, I am pleased
funny (actually not funny) you should ask about headliner
When seller took truck out of remote storage waiting for enclosed carrier to arrive he called me to tell me that a slight bubble had showed up in the headliner; he didnt want me to be surprised or think he had been hiding that from me. He attributed to temperature changes...
When truck arrived 3 days later it was sagging pretty badly. I took it down thinking i would re-glue it but backing was dry rotting. I took in to an interior shop who said that if they sanded it down, put new material on...it wouldn't last for more than a couple of years given the condition of backing.
With their suggestion I looked for a whole new piece and decided on one from OC auto carpets...close to $400 later it is being made for me.

will post some pics soon that I hope helps you.

Oh no kidding, yeah I personally wouldn't bother with that old fiber board going back in either. Did you get the ABS plastic one? That's what I'm putting in, with a black vinyl covering. Also in a black long bed 2WD by the way. Thanks for the future pics! I'm a little nervous drilling all those screw holes in the roof.

Yes abs with Scarlett which was factory color. As you know, make sure u buy the version for models that didn’t come with one.
