Can anyone identify this truck?

A number of years ago I set out to build the best factory equipped, best restored 66 C-10 SWB in the world just for the sake of doing it. With two kids in medical school I knew that I would not be able to afford to keep it so it was a given that the truck would be sold after completion. I worked for three years doing a full nut and bolt with an open wallet. I ended up with a really REALLY nice truck that I sold to a collector without ever having had the opportunity to even drive it. I have seen it from time to time as it made its way from collectors to dealers and did my best to passively watch for it, knowing that it will probably be the best restoration of my lifetime. The truck was last seen at Volo Cars...here is a link...https://www.volocars.com/vehicles/14...let-c10-custom . About a week ago I saw a posting on eBay for 66 C10 parts and they had inserted the pictures shown herein. I could be mistaken but the totaled truck looks exactly like the 66 I restored, right down to the air conditioning decal in the back window. I have emailed them for more information but they are not helping outside of saying that the truck had been stripped of all usable parts and then sent to the crusher. The parts they obtained will be "going into a restoration in their shop". They will not look at my restored truck pictures and confirm or deny anything...and I really don't believe that they ever had the truck, just the pictures they posted. If anyone knows the story about the damaged truck I would like to know....it sickens me to think that the truck I restored may no longer be out there....like loosing a kid (almost). The last I understood was Volo Cars sold it to a buyer in Nevada but I could be wrong. I hope the pictures are attached (my first time). Thanks so much all...means a lot to me. -Steve-
