Not to be a troll... BUT.... :cussing:

Why didn't he put a dual MC on the truck and at least front disc brakes?

Also why not vacuum the carpet...?

It's just the little things...

I guess I'm a bad person too, as I thought the same things when I was looking at it.....but then he only put, "Over 73,000 hours spent on the restoration". :boxing:

I also would have sprayed a satin black bedliner material on the front of radiator support so it would be black behind the grill. I don't care for the look of the body color to be seen through the grill.......but then, that's just me. If I had it, I could make those changes. But I don't own it, so to each their own... :2cents:

Apparently the fuel fill happens from inside the box?

Overall, it is still a superb-looking truck!

X2, Barnie, Nice truck, but 73 grand! The fit and finish appears to suck, the body color core support and tailgate letters scream "get this thing painted and out of here", IMO. And what is that tonneau cover, polished stainless?

One thing in it's favor, it's the first time in a while I've felt like saying; "How about those Rockets?" :P
