$2500 Really....I bet them bog tires in the bed wore that 1/2 ton front end out. It looks ragged out, but has a lift.

Not worth that asking price, since when does a red painter master cylinder and radius arms make it worth that much and only 2 matching fin rims.

Looks like a maybe a $500 parts/mud truck, maybe.

Did you fall out of your chair laughing Scott? Well now that I get a second look, my eyes we watering from laughing so much the first time.

Since it has some rusty chrome valve covers and air filter why not, let me make that call. Oh and some awesome red steps. lol
