Both Bumpers were flipped upside down,the front was pie cut and corners pulled in, rear was shortened and filled inthe top so exhaust could be brought out the rear.

The paint on the truck is still in pretty goodcondition, it has a few bad spots that I have put in the pictures, pain twasa custom mi, (I have a full unopened gallon of the paint, reducer, and hardenerthat go with the truck)
I have owned this truck for 34 years, I never plannedon selling it so when it was painted the VIN tag(which matches thetitle) and weight tag were taken off and never put back on, I have both of them. New owner will be responsible for getting them on the truck, as each statehas different laws for dealing with them.
There are lots of custom touches done to thistruck, and many that I am forgetting to mention. It is an older build that'sstill in great shape. You can drive as is, do a few updates to it as you go.
I am putting a reserve on it, but once I decideto sell something its going to go. So, if it gets close to the reserve Willlower it. This truck will probably sell for penny's on the dollar as to whatwas invested at the time of the build. Most of you know the cost to build thisquality of truck and what it would cost today.
Truck was featured in Classic Trucks magazine.
I would encourage all bidders, or representativeof yours to come and inspect the truck before purchase. I have a lift, so a full inspection can be done and all additional questions can be answered at that time. There will be NO inspections done after sale of thetruck!
The truck is being sold AS IS with NO implied warranty!
I have a good friend listing the truck for me as he has been selling on eBay for awhile, so if you need more information, you are welcome to call me directly at 785-418-5667 after 4 PM CST (if you call earlier than 4, leave your name and number and I will call you back after 4 PM CST). My name is Scott.
