it is a 4x2 (2wd) and apparently the vin number comes up in Washington state as it being previously registered as a 4x4 4wd model??? oh well

will be doing a full service/tune up on the truck as well... its going to be a long couple of weeks i can see it now... followed by 60-80 hours of body work and paint...
