Re: Pickup Restored

I wouldn't call it "restore" more like nicely redone. That would be a heck of a nice driver quality truck that you could take to cruise nights and shows on weekends and not have to park out back in the cheap seats.

Side note on the "restored" thing even though my motto is anyone can restore an old truck but it takes a real man to cut one up and put it back together I am pretty adamant on the concept that "restored" means exactly as it rolled or could have rolled off the dealers lot when it was sold brand new. To me having a chromed enginem aftermarket wheels and varnished oak bed means that it has been redone and not restored.

Re: Pickup Restored

Not bad for the money. Hard to put one together for that. A little bumpy down the sides but looks decent

Re: Pickup Restored

By today's standards thats an excellent price. Especially if it ACTUALLY has been off the frame and the frame cleaned up, repaired-if needed, and painted.

In SoCal I've seen many TF's in BAAD shape for nearly this asking price.

Re: Pickup Restored

Man, that's a great price for what it looks like and he'll probably come down a bit. Some smoothin out along the sides but what a great start

Re: Pickup Restored

Good looking pickup.
I do also agree with mr48. Restored is returned to original.

Re: Pickup Restored

Given today's dollar that's about 50% of value.
