I can't say anything for certain, but note that the truck was put up on April Fool's Day, and the OP states above.
Just sayin'...
...and if you dig in deeper, you'd find the PO also originally put the truck up for sale on April Fool's Day. I remembered that, and called Henry on it (by telephone). I think circumstances at that point made him think it was necessary, and maybe he went a little farther with it than he should have. Now it looks like those circumstances have passed, and in the meantime he's had a lot more fun with the truck, which is what it's all about.
