She's a '75,runs great! A/C,CB,CD player with USB, power ft seat, with heat. Dual alternators,12&24v. Custom built radiator to eliminate any poss heat issues, 24v tires Variable speed elect fan. Air horn, (get outta my way!). brake system all new but master, the squeeks are free!
1- Tires are around 1 yr old,less than 500 miles on them
2-all six hubs were resealed and ft cv boots replaced. All fluids changed.
3-CIS mechanical fuel injection from early - mid 80'S Volvo, has a personality, but runs great.
4- 12k 12v winch.
5- 10-15w solar panels on roof,they feed coach battery, which feeds inverter, which feeds microwave, TV and DVD player. Sun Force charge controller W/voltmeter.
6- generator compartment and 15 gal water tank
7-rear rack and holders will carry 4 fuel or water cans, along with axe, shovel,pick axe and digging bar, and the spare.
8- receiver hitch and original pintle.
9- not aluzinc but body is virtually rust free..
10-Many, many parts go with this,all good. L&R ft doors and uppers, steering gear and linkages, ft bumper,tons of stuff removed from donor truck.
11-Ft disc brake conversion unit, never installed, Wildwood parts. I would have had to use non matching wheels on ft so I did not go there, but the other idea I was pondering is to use adapters in ft for the Volvo wheels
12- Did I mention A/C! brrrr cold.
There is so much more that will come back to me, I've had this for over 10 years, this is a reluctant sale. Then again if no sale,I have to keep it!

$20K OBO

Hey Mark, I am headed up Friday after work. Already have the pinz trailer loaded and the G wagon fueled up. You want to go early or are you going with the others on Saturday?

Hey guys, Mark's stuff is top notch. I bought a 60 year old Haffy from him and he told me "does not leak at all, not a drop". It's true even after a month, not a drop! I'd love to buy this 6x6 and any other toys Mark has if I had the money and space because I know he maintains them well.

Mark,
Can you provide more information in your custom radiator? Specifics as to modifications, manufacturer, costs would be most helpful.
I am working on a 1975 AluZn truck that seems to want to run on the hotter side even when using a new lowest temp thermostat. System has been thoroughly flushed and new water pump installed (original's bearing/seal failed) along with new radiator and reservoir caps. Seems to point toward a radiator functioning poorly.

Thanks.

Custom build at local rad shop..been 8 years but memory says it was a 4 core GM radiator from a 70-80,s truck. I had them put a Toyota pressure cap on the top. useing original plastic tank as an overflow bottle. I did not like the idea of an old plastic bottle holding hot pressurized coolant above the passengers feet. reused the original mounting brackets. never overheats.

Sweet truck. Working on a client proposal to make commercial use of something like this. Had a 712A for a little while but this looks like an interesting option. if I get traction, I will follow-up with you.

Keep me posted. I have moved it to a friends house during my "transition" no longer stored inside, but this is Arizona!
