"I would hate to sell it but I am in need of cash."

Either he's not all that in need of cash, or he really, really, really doesn't want to sell it.

Perhaps the truck is worth that, depending on how much of the "good stuff" he left hidden in the door panels.

I don't think that all those patches of "pink" on the sheetmetal qulify as "all original"...
Some folks think that just because it's old that it's worth more...that only works for us old farts!

I guess if someone was willing to pay 10X what my truck is worth I'd be willing to sell... just sayin.

If that truck is worth 11, I'll sell you mine for 12 - and it has all the nose chrome.

I agree, except for the F-2, any off my vehicles would be out the door and even delivered if I could get 10X what I think they're worth. The F-2 will never be sold.

Just for fun I emailed the seller for more pictures. It turns out two guys own this truck. Here's one of the pictures they sent



Every sentence in their response ended in "Man"
"This truck is special, man."
"It was built using "special" "organic" materials, man"
"It's worth every dime bag we put into it, man"
