I'm sure there are a few other small things but that is what I remember for sure from ten years ago
In 2008 I installed power steering
Just installed a new battery
Kept indoors since I have owned it (purchased in 1999)
Originally a PG & E truck (well maintained)
230 engine
Synchro transmission
5:83 gears
Clear title (registered non-op in CA.)
Shockley Hubs with original warn brass center
This is not a restored truck and that is why the price is not in the $20K range. I did nothing to the engine because it runs like a watch and I could not justify spending $2,500 or more to rebuild a perfectly good running motor.
The not so good:
Windshield wipers don't work
Speedo does not work (might with a new cable)
Weeps some oil (possibly from the rear main seal)
Has a very small scrape on front of left rear fender.
Body was professionally painted but it was not a $10.000 job. So, when the sun shines just right you can see some imperfections.
Choke cable needs to be replaced but it starts fine without it, even when cold
Cowl lights not working, they did so I'm sure the ground wire just needs to be worked on a little.
Turn signals only in the rear
This truck has been to all ten California Dodge Power Wagon Rallys, as well as few 4th Of July Parades. Most years at the Cal Rallys, even though it never won Best Truck or Most Original Truck, it usually got a few votes. I know because I was counting the votes.
It is a very nice truck and I have enjoyed it very much but it is time for it to find a new home.
