Other than the engine compartment and wheels it looks reasonably authentic, but I am surprised that a non-original truck would pull this high. Imagine what it'd be worth if it had come from the factory that way. Actually, between you and me, I think it was priced and bought like an original but it wasn't born this way.
I have to laugh when other people complain about people having "too much money". Meanwhile, they own 5 trucks. I have one truck. Every time I see a .sig with 3-8 trucks in it I don't feel the need to comment on it.
For all anyone knows the buyer is a member or will be shortly. Take it easy on them. If this is the truck you want, you can write a big check now or 1000 medium checks over the course of the next 4 years building it yourself. There's no shortcut.

I don't think it's cheaper than building it. If it was built with all NOS parts then maybe. But with Chinese repop parts, nah.
