Too much money and couldn't even put a set of sway bar bushings on it.

Interior is fugly, especially for an asking price like that. Interesting to see a stepside dually though.

Ain't now way in hell that's a factory combo. Are they seriously trying to pass it off as such, or am I reading it wrong?

Not only sway bar bushings, but tie rods/any other bushings and any bit of the steering system seem to have been ignored....lol cool look though!

Seems like they're saying everything is original to try and catfish someone "they think it's 3000 original miles" as they said in the ad. But then also say it's been "restored" in the ad.. I don't know what kind of restored includes rusty frame lol..

Seems fishy...all for an overpriced truck.

Wrong steering wheel, those side mirrors didn't start until 79 or 80, power windows didn't start until 77...
I could go on.
Not sure how you restore without touching the bottom of the truck.

I would say it's a home/backyard build but wouldn't want to insult those of us that build out of our garages.
