There were a lot of clues when looking at the ad that is wasn't an original truck. But looks like he did go to the trouble of removing the extra stake pocket in bed, alternator on wrong side. Seat looks good though wonder what that was out of if it bolted up to original holes? Nice looking truck from pictures. Don't think you would get a factory shorted 4x4 truck all original for his price though. If it seems like to good to be true it usually is. Sorry for your waste of a good day but am sure the whole day wasn't wasted. . But there will be others. You will make another road trip for another one we all do. We bought one site unseen in Washington and what a nightmare. It was a 3/4 ton actually a one ton GMC. Title and VIN didn't match off by one number. The one that means 3/4 or 1 ton. Didn't run like guys swore it did. He was a dealer instead of a private seller. Wound up suing him to get it all straighten out. Finally after 3 yrs we got title straighten out with Washington got our money back for truck and got to retain ownership of truck. are finally starting to work on it after 3 yrs. Wasnt worth all aggravation. But have to move forward. Everything is good now. Does have original 402 in it and was a one owner truck. Buyers beware. At least you went and looked at it didnt buy it and get it shipped like we did. Good luck with your search.
