For that kind of money you would think they could at least clean up the rusty fender bolts. At least it doesn't have a 501 cheby like the truck in the dent forums the other day.

It's missing the bracket from the battery J-hook to the fender.

I just dont see how something with no rust ever and clean as a whistle isnt worth 20K. It is!

In my neck of the woods junkers are apparently now worth 2K. I dont know bout that, but it IS what is out there. Or here I guess.

My opinionated 2 cents.

Ok,,, if it had original BLACK CA plates, had not been repainted, did not have the extra bed tank, and both tanks had original caps,,,, and on and on and on,,,
someone spent a few bucks at LMC or one of those places, had it painted and is trying to pass it off as original. If one was to go look at it in person, I probably wouldn't offer more than $7-9k,,, look closely,,, door jambs, rusty fender bolts, battery hold down, and it may just be my eyes, but that front tire looks like it has some camber that shouldn't be there,,, how about a few pics of the underside,,, ya know, the belly of the beast,,, I bet THAT tells a whole different story...

That thought crossed my mind to. Im tempted to drive over there and take a look. Its about a 40min drive from me. Even with 10k miles I feel like the paint on the heads above the manifolds would be coming off a bit from heat and there would be some more wear. It seems to good to be true almost.

Yup, some pics of the underside would be interesting, and the paint looks almost too good? Great truck tho.

Whether original or not, it sure is a beautiful old truck. If it has had a ground up restoration they have the 20 grand in it. Not saying a man can get that back out of it 'tho. Gary

On the face of it, it looks nice but I’m a skeptic, I’d bet Pickupmanx2is closer to the truth. The other thing to consider is that the truck is “onthe beach” see the water in the back ground. The air down there is prone tosalt and corrosion. If it’s been down there any length of time, you’d knowright away. Dent-side bump-side, still nice looking old truck! As far as theprice, I don’t pay much attention until it’s me opening my wallet, it’s worth onlywhat the new owner is willing to part with, not a penny more. I will say, I’veseen other trucks with under 30k on the ODO in show condition for around 12k inthese parts! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

So who is being volunteered to go take a look see at this thing, and snap some pics? I'd do it but it's way too far for a day trip.
