Sounds nice. Original paint? You should slap up some photos of the interior, and of any rust spots.

 

[gmats]

Yes, it still has the original paint

Very nice looking Pig. Price seems a bit high compared to others on the market. GLWS

Yes, pretty nice looking but the interior looks a bit rough for a 12K truck, IMO. Where's the transfer case shift lever? No 4wd?

 

[scottryana]

'71 the 4wd lever is on the dash. Good luck with the sale, seems really high but looks like the body is pretty solid.

*edit passenger side roof is that rusted through?

A '71 with an F would've......

Well I can see the lever is still there, whether or not it works, who knows. But I think I have figured out the pricing scheme for this 55. That close to the mexican border the new owner also gets some free coke in the rear cargo area, thats the only way I can figure it out...

Looking closer:
the rear roof is rusted possibly through.
under the rear reflector (which are missing) are badly rusted.
the spray job was so bad they just over sprayed the front turn signals.
rust coming out from the tailgate (does the assist still work? How about the rear window?)
where are all the interior panels?
no antenna so might be some cowl rust.
any pics of the truck before the respray?
How are the bottom of the front fenders?
Still running 4wheel drum brakes?
Still running corse spline axles?
What power steering box is going to be used, is it included? Has the frame been modified for it?

In my opinion and it is just an opinion it is an $7-9k truck, depending on how the answers come back

Very observant. Must come from years of Pig ownership. The owner says "minimal" rust in rain gutters. Impossible for me to judge if that's accurate or not, from the photos provided. Same with the rear reflector area.
So, gmats, if you know or believe otherwise, perhaps some closeup photos are in order.
