Look at the tailgate latch handle and mounting plate. Looks to me like they are painted blue. That's not how the factory did it. Those parts were cadmium plated, it says so right in the MPC. The FORD letters would also have likely been a contrasting color like white. And the factory tires would not be Radial GTs, unless he is talking about some tires he doesn't have pictured.
The black under the hood looks like it has been rattle canned. You can see black overspray on the blue top edge of the header panel. The hood latch would not be black. Radiator top tank has been painted, too.
One picture of the door jamb looks like the interior blue is quite a bit darker than the exterior. Fading, yes, but not in the door jamb itself.
I don't buy the original paint or 16,000 mile claim.

Another clueless (or lying) seller unclear on the concept, as it's not even close to being original. Doubtful that it actually has 16,000 miles.
The odometers on these trucks read to 99999.9 then return to ZERO!
Aftermarket radio antenna mounted on wrong side of cowl panel, "hang-on" aftermarket radio, radial tires, seat reupholstered, aftermarket wheels, outside mirrors, bedrails.
It's a Standard Cab, but has the Custom Cab/Ranger horn ring and anodized aluminum tail lamp bezels.
Previously mentioned painted tail gate handle and mounting plate. Tailgate repainted as the F O R D letters would have been painted white originally. Entire truck appears to be repainted.
Fuel cap would have been painted body color originally, present chrome fuel cap is a service part or aftermarket replacement.
Grille has been repainted, it would not have been all white originally. The four vertical bars and the area between the rectangles would have been painted black.
Grille also painted black surrounding the headlamp bezels.
