So, I received the truck. It is ok, I did overpay by probably $2k....but, really wanted one of these little, Regular Cab Short Bed Stepsides....with 5.3...and it does have less that 56k miles. Surprise was/is it has a locking 3.73 diff. The bad deal is that it has a duplicate title and I didn't get sent the most recent one....they are in the process of "working on it", getting me the right title. I did validate through CA DMV that the duplicate title was done as a lost title submission by the same owner. Submission was done a few months after the original title was transferred from father to son (he must have found the original and sent to me). Its really a one owner truck. I hope this gets settled soon. Also, original owner seems to have been a smoker, so I have started cleaning that out. I will post pictures later.
