A few things seem a little confusing - I'm wondering why they didn't check out the floorpan while doing the carpet. Maybe they'd throw in all the trim that was taken off to whoever wins the auction. This is also the first truck I've seen with a painted instrument panel.
The door panels look good though, and it's nice to see somebody go to the trouble to paint the inside of the doors (and the dash too from the way things look). That really adds a lot, IMO.

those prices confuse me too. Thats a nice truck and all, but around here its no 3700 truck(The buy it now price). i guess that different areas have different prices. These model trucks are plentiful here.

They should've at least washed and waxed it before taking pictures. Maybe it's that high because it's all original or something. I'm curious about what the reserve was set at.

Looks to me like there is some rust bubbling through at the bottom front of both doors, and certainly at the back of the driver's side front fender. I wonder what the cab mounts and corners look like - especially if there is a rust hole in the floor.
The driver's front looks like it bumped into something low as the bumper is bent up at that corner and the fender looks like it has a crease just above and behind the fender extension.
It may be the angle and the sunlight but that driver's front fender doesn't seem to match the color of the door and box.
The headlight doors don't match the grille - they look like they have been stripped, and the chrome strip across the front of the hood is missing.
The carpet job looks like it was pieced together in a hurry.
I do like the color matching air cleaner though.
Looks to me like a $1500 - $2000 truck.
Just my opinion.....

Yeah, I figured the paint deal was a photography thing. Who cares about the carpet? I would if I were buying.
You and others were talking about prices, so I gave my opinion and the reasons for it. You didn't want a price range? Well, you got one anyway, no extra charge!
I'm glad you've been offered $2500, I really am. That is not an unfair price for that truck. The truck is decent, and I should have said so in my first post.
You asked what we thought of the truck, and then identified yourself as the seller. You asked the moderators not to delete your post because you were "...just asking for advice w/ the description and what not." Don't ask for opinions or advice if you are not prepared to hear the less-than-pleasant along with the good. You asked for opinions/advice. I simply responded.
Personally, I think this thread is a thinly disguised advertisement for your auction. I would not have responded otherwise - as my mother tried to teach me, "If you can't say something nice...."
That said, good luck with the sale
