My personal pet peeve are all these dishonest fly by night collector car dealers. They do nothing but harm the hobby.

Nice looking MOSTLY original truck, however. The wheels are not right and I would have expected a higher price for all the bragging points they have made given that it is un-restored. That kind of survivor would be more pricey IMO.

Way too much ochre paint under the hood. Van radio (at least the lens). Painted tailgate handle. Dents in the bed floor under that nice paint? And probably too much black paint on the underside too.... To be "unrestored in original condition"

Well, technically it hasn't been restored, which means to return to original state. It has, however, been restomoded.

Mirrors are incorrect as well based on the SPID so it has to have been repainted.
