I think you are probably right. It would be nice to see it in person, though: I think the truck is a true survivor that the seller has ruined with crappy aftermarket bolt ons and a respray.

That seat is in awfully good condition. I had one and that material cracks very easily. The original vinyl is nearly unobtainable so I think it is real: it would be too costly to acquire, and a professional flipper would just use a standard off the shelf fabric kit if he wanted to dress up an old truck for sale.

I refuse to believe that a base model truck like that had sport bumpers and sport mirrors, nor do I think those ralleys came with the truck, either. They aren't on the build sheet, just cheap upgrades to attract unknowledgeable buyers.
