Here is the link Fellas. I know it's in a rust state but it spent most of it's life in AR. Clear title never wrecked. The guys said there wasn't any rust.

Looks like a real nice truck The '97's seem to be the 2nd gen 12v of choice lately. That's really not that many miles for a 10 year old truck.

When I saw the mileage and the condition I had to jump on it. I finally abandoned wanting a 1998 12v and decided the two extra doors weren't that important. I'm glad I did. The truck is in Delaware, but it is originally out of Arkansas.

i have a 97 ex cab and i had a 98 quad. i could lay down on the back seat of the 97, i could not on the 98. the ex cab have pockets that make it about 6" wider to lay down in. but the quad cab doors are sure nice sometimes.
