Me a resto rod that is a very nice restoration is just fine. I have seen some good buys on thursday or early friday. With that said I personally would not pay that much for that truck for the simple reason of what Longhorn man said if they missed the steering wheel, the K&N filter and some other little things under the hood it would lead me to think that there were not a ton of NOS parts involved in this build but I would have to see it in person.

The cars on BJ are nice, but it certainly doesn't mean they are correct. I've seen a LOT of cars being called correct, and there will stuff on them that simply is not, even on some supposed high end cars. I've seen what is being called Ram Air IV Pontiacs with D ports, I've seen mistakes made with correct striping on cars, jacked up emblem placement, and etc. on cars that supposed to be documented and being represented as correct. It would be in anybody's best interest to still verify whether a car or truck is what it is supposed to be even if its at BJ.
