Thanks @Bear I appreciate your kind words!

What baffles me about this whole situation is Sharpfj40 contacted me via PM over 10 days ago with some picture requests and a few questions to which I promptly replied. (though a VIN picture was not part of his request) in my reply I also included my personal cell number and encouraged him to contact me directly with anymore questions he may have.

I never heard another word from this gentleman over the next 10 days until he started posting his conspiracy theories about my customers 40 late Friday night.

So why he chose not to contact me directly and express his concerns is beyond me. Instead he chose to post his baseless conspiracy theories here in my for sale ad casting needless doubt over the validity of the LX when a simple call or text would have cleared this all up.

Regardless glad we can move on.

"Unfortunately, it can’t be an actual 1977, with the wrong wipers, front badges, front marker lights, etc.
Does the engine number match the frame?"

Tone seems to align to the behavior.

Good catch!!! Gee wizz that dude is a special one. Not to mention owes JP a public apology.
 
Wanted to give a big shout out to @Sharpfj40 he went out of his way to call and apologize for how all this unfolded. Which I greatly appreciated, so it’s all “water under the bridge” now!

Now I just need some one to make an offer on this cool rare LX 😎
 
Question from the uneducated perspective, the second photo from the original post shows some sort of plate approximately 2 inches tall across the face of the rear sill extending across the back. Is that something specific to Middle Eastern models? What is its purpose? Please educate me. Thanks

If you go back to the 2nd page the OP says it was added by the previous owner in Saudi.
 
@1MOA thanks for the assist! And @FJnoob2 sorry I missed your question. 1MOA is correct there are a couple of decorative or reinforcement plates that the Saudi owner added around the body at some point.

Me too!! I don't get it.....I wonder if the current market would be different if the LX trim was available in the US back in the day? These trucks are highly desirable down in OZ right now.

Anyways great truck. All the hard to find parts are all there.
