Re: newer style wheels on older 1/2 4x4

guy said it was all original, then said motor and trans had been rebuilt, said it only had 60k so it shouldn't have needed a motor rebuild. For 2k i would but a nice, untouched original truck, but i dont like buying vehicles where someones been there rebuilt that and this because most of the time they dont know what they are doing. My camaro is the only vehicle i have bought that had any major motor work, becuase the drivers side head and intake had been off at one point and etc and the trans had been out at one time, but everything looked good and they put it back together correctly, plus it was rust free and had a mint black interior.

Im hoping to find a nice 73-78 4x4, single cab longbed (maybe a shortbed for the right price, but i use my truck). I figure i can always wait and find one for a better price in better condition, the interior looked to have a seat and door panel off an 80s truck. If the motor and trans hadnt been rebuilt i would have bought this truck, i dont care about rust, but when you tell me its all original untouched, then oh ya motors been rebuilt, it doesn't help the sale to me.

I know im picky, but when i find something i want, i get it, period. Im like my dad, i dont care if i overpay, if its what i want i get it if i can reasonably afford it.
