premium - $1,900 is definitely a premium on a long-bed with rust. That crappy repaint could be hiding a lot of shoddy body work.

touting the drivetrain - the seller seems to be touting the drivetrain (engine, tranny, rearend). Those pieces are just so hard to actually verify as solid pieces. The engine could blow tomorrow, the tranny could go, and the rearend could all go. It's relaly hard to say.

spray can rebuild - when someone cleans / repaints an engine to make others believe it's lower mileage, or even a new rebuild, even though it's an old worn-out engine that's on it's last leg.
