The safety certification lable is covered in a protective coating.
It being worn off is not plausable. The inside of the "B" pillar does not get much wear and tear does it?
Now It being removed, with the void marks showing, or rubbed out is more plausable... ...and suspicious.
Just makes these two words I'm going to say, mean that much more.....
Buyer Beware...

Over time, the outer plastic coating or the whole glued-on label can peel off. This can be caused by humidity and/or copious amounts of water (ever been along the TX gulf coast?).
Sometimes...when the coating itself peels off, it takes what is printed beneath along with it.
I've seen these labels where the outer clear plastic coating had peeled off...that were so faded, you couldn't read them with a microscope.

Mine was starting to fade when I sold the truck, you could still see all of it, but in 2-3 years that won't be the case anymore.
I understand what Bill is saying, texas is a bit harder on vehicles than other states

If he really did sell it, more power to him. He sounded more uneducated than anything else, and did not really sound like he was trying to get over.
Frankly, I am even surprised that he continued to answer e-mails to someone who was obviously, after a little bit, not interested in buying the truck.

More than my fair share, I look at them everytime I go to the wrecking yard...
That is true, being in california, I don't see much humidity like in the southern states. 90 deg heat, 100% humidity, sun baking your brains while the windshield wipers on so you can see the road.
You got a point.
