He is definitely in the ballpark for that truck, at least for the Iowa rust belt anyway....:)

@Joesjunk: Was nice enough to speak to me at length about the truck.
Thanks Joe!!!
Then I spoke to the seller again.
Unless the price drops dramatically, I'm out.
But I thought I'd post this for others to reference.

We knew the following:
Wrong Wheels, Air Cleaner, Valve Covers, Water Neck, Heater Hoses and Radio.
"Chevy Lean"

Joe noted the following:
Not Factory Rear Bumper (Came with a step bumper, but this is not right)
Accessory trailer brake kit
Repro Dash Pad - Wrong Color
Repro Steering Wheel - Wrong Color
Repro Carpet - Wrong Color
Possible paint touch-ups (Blending at rear quarter)
2 Aux Gas Tanks

Then I spoke to the seller:
Aux gas filler hole in the bed goes nowhere.
There are 2 Aux gas tanks with fillers in the wheel wells.
The story also went from "I know it's original paint" to "it looks like original paint to me".

I said to the seller "you seem to be more of a 'car guy' than you leading me to believe".
He stammered for an answer to that.

I'm not comfortable enough to fly up at this price point so I told him I'm out.

Thanks again to Joe for taking the time to speak with me!

Stay tuned for my thread "Possible Purchase 3"
Onward!

Weird that the bed side filler neck doesn't go to that tank? Now it makes me wonder even more about the originally.
