Re: Could I get an opinion on this truck, please!!

It seems pretty decent. I really don't like the Rhino Liner and would be concerned what it could be hiding. There are better looking liners to use,too...Yuck! I hate it inside a bed. The seller says he's been restoring vehicles for a long time and he doesn't really trust dealers. Why didn't he restore this one? He can tell the Rhino Liner isn't covering anything up? I can't.Since the inner rockers aren't rusted that means the outers wouldn't have? I've seen plenty (most) that rust through the outer first. Sounds like he's flipping it the way he keeps referring back the the previous owner as recent info and said,"I was told" a good bit. seems he's a dealer to me. He say's "He believes" it was repainted? He sure doesn't know much for someone who restores vehicles. It "definitely" is repainted. I can tell that from here. I guess what I'm saying is i see trucks that may very well be decent. But,when I'm relying on a seller's description and they seem anything less than 100% honest,I walk away wishing it was someone else selling it. That same truck with faded peeling paint and minor rust could be had for 1/3 what it's at now. It's good if it's clean and not if it all comes through after next winter.
