At first glance it looks like an original cream puff. But when you look closer, you see the front fenders are rotted, bondo'd over, and rotted some more. There's strange rust stains running from what looks like holes/cracks the middle of the roof. It's probably a good parts truck for a couple hundred dollars, as long as it doesn't come with that oil tank. The haz mat disposal for that won't be cheap.

52 Merc better eyes than me put some paint on it and drive it....of course by now they all
have rust; my 97 F350 fenders gone= body off de scailled chassis POR fifteen'd it, never been in salt & slush now back to day one. two new front fenders. how in hell you
lose cab corners when parked on asphalt and fenders? POR 15 don't work, nothing here works. Now we work on mid 2000's, spring hangers toast, paper thin chassis: Not only Ford but Chev's & Dodge's too! The way of thinking, my boy, a new 2019
f350 diesel guess what; so to survive next year its gone. thats the new wave of new kids thinking. Me, I been driving a 1954 F900 10yrd dump truck since 1960 till now
with a trailer. Yes my father put a 391 crate, which slides right in a 53 & up. 5sp OD
and this thing is kracl'len rust while I sleep. do not buy from new England where they
salt roads while its raining::
rant over;;;

Actually, neither. It's more likely a digital glitch in the photo. There's a definite line from edge to edge if you look close. Comparing the two, the grille is original stock in the top photo, but the front shot seems to be missing something in the translation. Or else it's gotten very, very sleepy.

It's a sun shadow. Even the headlights are seemingly cut in half.
