Welcome aboard from Tehama County Ca. Is that 47000 original or 47000 on the odometer? Original would be an awesome find.

I upload from my pc, but I downsize them first. If they are to big it will not work.

The guy I purchased the truck from bought it from another guy three months ago and he said the guy was not very smart about the truck he used it to put boats in the water somewhere and he jacked the harness alll up real bad he ran speakers off of the drivers side head light and had the rear lights all jumped in with jumper wires and twisted together , plus the truck was overfilled on oil when i bought it so i had to stop at an autozone and buy a drain pan to atleast get the level right so i could make the 140 mile trip home from where I got it from

Welcome. And it made it 140 miles, so that's a good start! Hope that wiring mess is not too bad.

yeah it made it without any issue Except when i got about fifteen or twenty miles down the road the linkage got so loose i couldnt grab second or third, so i pulled off in a church and grabbed my 9/16 wrench off the seat and tightened it up then it was smooth as butter the rest of the way
