"Mostly Stock"?!?!?!?!

Headers, duals exaust with the factory bracket just whacked off with a torch, holley, M/T valve covers, custom stitching on the seat and headliner, etc is "stock" and even better, he would have us believe that Rancho's rear lift consists of welded square wall tubing?!?!?

I still say the easiest thing to do is make a dummy ebay account and then when there is just a few seconds left, put in a bid for 50k and then just ignore the account after that.

Yes blocks. The vehicle is pretty stock other than the obvious. Shocks are rancho, I would imagine the blocks are that, but there is nothing else really added to the suspension. This is the model with the big sway bars, they are both front and rear still im place stock, etc. They did it this way to keep integrity and to keep it at under 7 ft as the truck was trailered around to shows, events enclosed. On those type heavy leaf trucks, blocks are really the best way to go unless you are going sky high. Chances of an aftermarket spring ever being as good as stock is "0". This truck has a ton of integrity, not to mention as new. Thanks for the assurance...... but the price is 21K, nothing less. Judge your bidding if you are serious there. The best way to buy the truck is also not the auction... Its with a phone call.... 214-878-3823
What you should do is forward the email to Ebay for violating listing policy.

What are the guidelines?

<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td class="tCell" valign="top">
Allowed
</td> <td class="tCell" valign="top">
  • Sellers can end a listing early in order to sell an item at the current bid price to the high bidder.
  • Bidders can ask sellers to end a listing early and sell at the current bid price, but sellers don't have to honor the request.
</td></tr> <tr><td class="tCell" valign="top">
Not allowed
</td> <td class="tCell" valign="top">Some examples of activities that aren't allowed include:
  • Using member contact information obtained from eBay or using any eBay system to offer to sell any listed item outside of eBay
  • Canceling a listing to sell to a buyer who found the item on eBay
  • Ending a listing early to sell the item to the winning bidder a price higher than the current bid
  • Offering to sell an item to a non-winning bidder without using Second Chance Offer
</td></tr></tbody></table>
Why does eBay have this policy?Offers to buy or sell outside of eBay are a potential fraud risk for both buyers and sellers, and are not protected by eBay protection programs. Additionally, these offers may be an attempt to avoid eBay fees. This is unfair to other sellers and violates our policies.

Online Customer Support

Send ebay an email at that link telling them the seller has offered to sell you the item outside of ebay and copy and paste the email he sent you, would be funny if they pulled the auction on it!!
