That much of the story is nearly identical to the history of my own 1966, 8900 miler. What is not the same is my truck is still totally untouched and looks fantastic, with three times the usage. Orig tires too.
On the ebay truck, the wear and age present as well as the repaint work are a concern, though I don't necessarily disbelieve the guy.
Don't get any ideas. I'm watching you.
