IT'S ON E-BAY!
I looked yesterday and couldn't find it. But did find one with a cool black and purple paint job, which I can't afford any more than yours.

What kind of money do you think the truck will bring...ballpark? Also, it might help if you could add more pictures. Most want to see the frame (rust ?), and interior pictures (seat, headliner, dash). Nice truck, ought to do well on E-bay.

I honestly have no idea I put a reserve on it so we will see. It's not close to what it would take for me to let it go yet but it still has 6 days left

I'd say the bidding has a long way to go yet. Pretty unique truck(drivetrain wise), might surprise you.

Thanks for getting back to me with some numbers.
I am going to give it a "Long shot" and see if I like the 3.07 / 5-speed combo with 33s, if not I will swap in some 3.54s geared axles.
Good luck with the sale, and nice truck!

Spice and red are both pretty rare, but yeah I'd say red is the rarest, at least from what I've noticed.

That's what I've noticed also. The junk yard I commonly go to for parts has 4 1st gen trucks, all with the blue/gray interior. I've owned 4 1st gens, all with the blue/gray interior except 1. I really like the red though, it's almost like a scarlet/bright red. Just don't see it very often

My 91.5 came from the factory with 3.07s and a Getrag. Unfortunately the sticker on the hood went away with the hood due to a hail storm that beat it to death. Considering it is my work truck and I tow alot with it, I don't care for the 3.07s.
Mine is also white, but I don't dare wash it in fear more paint will fall off thanks to the above mentioned hail storm.

I have owned 7 '89-'92 1st gens with red interior [6 12vs and one 318, all but one 12V was a 5-speed 4x4] over the years
I have only owned 2 red 2nd gens, both 12v 5-speed 4x4s.
I don't see many 2nd gens with red interior, mostly grey for me
