 I was told nothing was wrong with the truck and that i could get in it and drive to florida right now. well it hasn't even been two weeks since i have had the truck and so far the shock mount is busted (was broke before i even bought the truck) valve cover gaskets are leaking, power steering box blew out and the floor of the truck in the cab is all rottted away. there is a huge hole on the drivers side to where i could put both my legs through and he wouldn't give me my money back for the vehicle. i took photos of all this to prove my defects of the truck.
