Pretty cool truck, but would be WAY over my price range. I don't care for the color scheme or accents, but I can appreciate the hard work that went into it and would certainly spend a few moments looking it over if I saw it in person.

I wonder if the tires are original too. LOL. That white gauge cluster would have to go too! Very clean though...

Sorry, but a little overdone for my taste. Also, my experience with low mile trucks of this era that haven't been worked hard or used a lot is no bueno. Low miles means nothing to me anymore LOL. Good maintenance is where it counts.

Says it's in Oregon, but plates are from Cali. Also says interior is all original. Didnt know that white dash cluster and A pod guages were factory options.....

It’s got the very rare chameleon leather interior. Seems to change colors from pic 13 to 14.

Those were my thoughts as well. Obviously the seller ended up with it as a "middle man" and probably doesn't even know the original owner. He is probably hoping to make a big profit.
Maybe it's just me but when I see an ad where the only parts of the text that indicate a mastery of the English language are those parts that are copied and pasted it loses credibility.

im sensing a scam on this one, its a nice truck if it is a real deal, begs the question of why the cali plates if its an organ truck, seems like the AD was copy and paste, not too sure if the person seems to know the truck well and its a bit TOO clean for my comfort level, too clean to me means one thing, has not been used much and there WILL be issues with ht, big or small they will start popping up....no thanks, if I took that truck I would require it to under go a full rebuild with new seals and orings and similar with the fluids to ensure it will perform...not to mention the price is WAAAAAY too high for this type of truck.....

Guys, I should really stay off Craigslist. I just see trucks I really want, but really can't afford ;(
I know it's not the right gen, but I'm sure you guys can appreciate this other ad I found:

When I bought my 7.3 a couple of years ago it was advertised as 19k miles, when I got it I discovered that it was KM not miles, had been in dry storage for 5-6 years, had all the original tyres too. A friend picked it up and drove it home (over 1000 miles) with no issues, I had to change a couple of tyres due to cracking but the other 4 have now done another 55k KM's, changing them this weekend as they are now well worn. Everything else has been good, regular oil and filter changes. Still looks like new underneath, paint is great & I have a truck that will outlast me! There are a few gems left but they are few and far between.
My truck cost me the equivalent of around $15k not bad for a nearly new vehicle.

Wow. Not a normal, every day US version, it is an "International" version engine? Cool. Bet it has the International dash that has both Miles AND Kilometers. It can probably be filled by Gallon or Litres
