an alarm bell just rings in my head when i see repro grill on a truck that this guy says are all OEM, if the grill was busted another one could be found on ebay and this guy dont seem like a person who dont uses ebay offen, but knows it very very well

also an engine dont need a rebuild after only 139000 miles i can see if he upgraded it but not by wear.

139k for a 70's truck engine sounds about right to me. I know some people have way more and I assume they more or less babied them.
But I now people that used their trucks as trucks and did all the proper maintenace and got less than 100k?
When I bought my '85 K5 that had a manual tranny, it had a new(er) crate engine with 40k on it and only had 160k on the odometer.The guy I bought it from worked at a GMC dealer but had only owned it for about 7-8 years (this was in '98 or '99).

The alarm bell for me, and I am note sure I would call it an alarm, is that the reat seat doesn't match the front buckets?
The vinyl doesn't seem to wear as well as the cloth so I assume the vinyls were wore out and/or cracking and he found some cloth seats used in nice shape and put them in?
This one locally is a '78 and it has matching seats.
