I don't recognize any of these names (some of you might) but it does look like a pretty nice truck -

It's pretty but not enough close up photos to accurately assess. It has a clutch and there is no gear indicator on the column so it is a 3 speed not an auto as the ad indicates. Can't see if the dash has been hacked. No breathers in valve covers, no PS or PB. Cheaped out on the exhaust. What does 75% restored mean? 25% rusted? I'm not sure his "celebrity" status will warrant a premium price. It'll be interesting to see.

It's like he and Elvis used the same toilet....Not enough cachet to make it valuable, in my opinion. Still, it's amazing what a marketer will try to do to make something appealing....like name-dropping. But, that's their job.
