First, thanks for sharing. That truck, as well as, the yellow one and the turquoise one were on eBay earlier this year.

Just a side note, when I hear "restored to exact GM specifications", I begin looking very closely at the details. In this situation, I see the paint overspray on the exhaust manifolds and the heater hoses, as well as, the clear finish on the bed wood, along with the shiny wear strips. None of which are factory specifications. Also, the background of the grille support is supposed to be black, not the body color, even on the single-tone paint scheme.

Nice, to say the least, but not to exact GM specifications. Also, if I am going to pay $13K-$14K for a restored truck on eBay, I need to see more than four photos.

I agree. They are nice trucks and I would not mind owning one. but the "exact GM specifications" thing should be dropped.I looked at all the other adds to. If all these flaws show up in the pics just think if you saw them in person. At least the BIN price is not too inflated. Kind of high but heck everything is high now look what people as for trucks in far worse condition. If you don't have the time or tools etc. they would be a nice truck for someone. I would want to see the build pictures at least before buying.
Personally I would not buy any vehicle in Ebay w/o seeing it in person. I would rather lose the Airfare then the purchase price.
