I have named the big red truck. Clifford.
Got a better deal then I originally thought I would.

After tearing into it, other then the cosmetics.

Maxon needed lubing and it works like charm, needs some fluid as well which I have to order. Motor and transmission fluids are really really clean and just changed. Back tires do not match but are the same size and have 80% life left. Front tires are brand new goodyears and match 100%. Need a VVS sensor so the speedometer will work correctly.

So got to buy one or two rear tires, a VVS sensor and it should be good to go.

Flushed the entire interior out as it was disgusting, like horrible. Had a can of the exterior color mixed up and sprayed real quick the scratches that went down to the metal to keep the rust at bay. Hosed it down with orange cleaner and fabreeze.

All in all beat-up old truck will cost me less then the tax of a new one and maybe 1K in payments once I am done with fixing a few small things and I could more then likely sell it for more then I paid like normal.
