Wondering what you guys think. It seems odd to me that it has a soft top and no mention of a hard top. Did 45's evercome without hard tops?

It also liiks like the trans has been changed from on the tree and there is an odd shift lever on the drivers side, but no PTO winch.


The other thing is the description of the "comprehensive restoration" only 600 miles ago. I bet that rust on the ashtray didn't just build up in that 600 miles, or the grease on the engine for that matter. It does not appear to be that comprehensive.

So, I'm not sure if the year has anything to do with it, but is this truck worth the cash?
 
Far from 100% original. The Holly carburator was not stock. THE brake and clutch masters are wrong. Blower for heater is plastic which should be metal. For that kind of money you would think they could at least buy the correct hub caps. Missing the defrost vent in the windshield. The spare tire carrier should have handles to help lower it. No hard top and doors whick it should have. I think the back of the soft top is way to high and doesn't look right. Not one picture of the underside which also is a red flag. I wouldn't even pay half of what they are asking. Finding a hard top is not going to be easy. Using FJ40 spft and doors and making a cloth top is way easier. I don't have a spare hard top but I have half door and FJ40 bows I could use to make a soft top. I always like I don't have the correct parts so I made something up so now it is really special and one of kind making worth even more.
 
Is it nice ...yes.......45k nice.... NO!! , you could easly build 2 that nice for that much mula..

45k should either be Icon like or something that looks like it just rolled off the show room ( with every option available..i/e PTO etc)...even then that its still a stretch

Hmmm.....Nice truck. I think with a painted to match hard top and doors the truck might be worth 15-18K.

I agree, 15-18k in this market, with the correct hardtop and doors, if you can find them will be a grand plus paint..
