Even at 27k the radio bezel is cracked. That is a beautiful truck, very interested to see what it sells for. Wild it’s at almost $52k with 6 days left.

how do crackheads have so much money to spend on 60s?!? I am happy for the seller though.

I saw a YouTube video on this truck a while back:

It’s miles.

It’s miles.

Whoops, not used to seeing the yellow km/h, mine looks white.

Agree with @OSS - Something like this with super low miles that was never driven never had the lubricants moved around and likely has a bunch of dry seals and gaskets. Not sure how much truth there is to that, but hey ... I don't have the money for something like that anyway.

Also I wonder who the seller is: "Racer355" Hmmmm....

So your options are a low mileage truck that will leak everywhere or a high mileage truck with original parts that will leak everywhere.

I’ll take the low mileage truck any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I bet if I found a NOS 40 year old cork side cover gasket and installed it it would work just fine. There’s a reason low mileage trucks bring big money and high mileage trucks don’t.

Quick things I can tell from browsing the photos.
The knuckles need to be rebuilt
The tailpipe has a hole in it
The shocks are aftermarket
Looks like it’s leaking from the rear main seal.

I still want it.

Yeah. Abused is not the word I’d use the describe this truck.

Has the fuel tank recall been done?
Because i don’t trust carfax etc. i want a statement of when and where it was done.
