4.2 . reg cab. i think the 6 box. but wasnt apying attention.. It doenst have a tach.? um manual windows and doors (which i dont mind) makes it more romantic having to get the door all the time lol.. looked under and barely any rust on the frame. except in the normal little places with just surface rust.
