Frame-off resto '66
From the sound of the post on the HP, this baby is dead stock except for the newer wheels... Does it look right to everyone? Regardless, I don't think I'd change a thing, More pics here.

except for the newer wheels. Does it look right to everyone? No! Regardless, I don't think I'd change a thing, More pics here. The Custom Cab stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings are missing. The P/B booster and dual master cylinder certainly aren't "stock." The air cleaner is from a car.
Tailgate handle painted, cab quarter mouldings appear to be attached with screws, grille not highlighted with black paint, ditto upper grille panel.
Cannot see the right side of the dash, so don't know if the radio and/or the A/C is original or not.
Door access covers have radio speakers mounted to them.

If I was going to do a frameoff restoration I would do a lot better job than that truck has had. Looks like they used heavy amounts of undercoating underneath and under the hood. To hide what. Undercoating is even oversprayed on the firewall above the cowl seam. You can see 4 spots of daylight thru the box. Don't think it is as nice as it appears. I also agree about the paint scheme. OOPS I just reread and it was a frame on restoration. Now I am sure there is a lot of hidden things.

I don't like to poke fun at people, but REALLY...?
That description sounds like a used car salesman that has never seen one of these trucks before.
Amazing

I agree with that. Also, the original post said it's original except for the wheels and asked what people thought about it. So, I'd expect guys to start pointing out all of the non original things on the truck.
If an owner of a truck posts some pictures and says what do you think of my truck and the mods I made he'd get a different response.

Old Hens? They did ask for opinions and they got them. Truth is there are guys here that have a whole lot nicer trucks than that one is. Modded or original. Obviously many here do not like it and said so. And as ND pointed out it is now for sale. So why the Old Hen comment?

If the owner had asked, they'd likely get different answers. So, if and until the new owner becomes an FTE member, we'll have some fun.
Don't like the paint either
Get over it
Interestingly though, the original CC ad makes no claims about being stock, etc

If the word "restoration" can be used with any mention of this truck I have some Ocean Front Property for sale in South Dakota. One of the biggest slop jobs I have seen. It would be more difficult finding something "Correct" than what is wrong with it. Looks like they are trying to turn a 25k profit looking at price wanted.
