Sheesh, Chris, that is a beautiful truck. Would love to drive down and see it, but that temptation is the last thing I need! GLWTS!
 
Beautiful truck, l love the detailed resto compilation you've given with it......can l ask a question.. l see you've re-sealed along the hood line & lower windscreen panel what did you use to replace the existing sealer..?..& is it easy enough to do ?.. l've a leak & good old clear 'weatherproof sealer' is what l've used in the meantime, if necessary l'll clean it out & do it right before l repaint my 47 ute.

You've dropped the price...down to ?
Thanks.
 
Lordy lord, that thing is absolute perfection!!! I hope it goes to someone that really appreciates all the work and caring that went into making it look better than it did the day it rolled off the assembly line.
 
It’s crazy that the market seemed to cool off. The SA variants I wouldn’t even entertain personally. The people that pay crazy money on them definitely have more money than neurons.
 
Lots of interest but still has not sold. I have been told it is because of the SA imports. Sad because these US Version are so much better. I think it is worth what I was asking but.. price lowered.

It’s crazy that the market seemed to cool off. The SA variants I wouldn’t even entertain personally. The people that pay crazy money on them definitely have more money than neurons.

Check on your terminology;
SA = South America or SA = Saudi Arabia

This question may not matter in that it would be profoundly important for me to have someone that I have trust and confidence in (such as Meshal or AJ) conducting the vehicle inspection (actual condition and history) before investing time in discussion, let alone currency. But the stories disasters of South America seem to be more frequent.

Chris, Good luck. This looks like a very solid 40 and one that makes me wish that I had appropriately deep pockets.
