Most Expensive 67-72 Ever

[B. W.]

Picking it apart:

axle u-bolts too long
yellow zinc bolts used on shackles/shocks
wrong radiator - aluminum painted black (does't fit upper mounts)
no shroud
wrong upper rad hose
cheesy battery terminals
tie rod bent (may be optical illusion)
zip tie on brake lines
incorrect finish on hardware
ralley wheels
driver's seat belt
parking brake release is weathered
wrong shift knob
radio
SPID appears new but made to look old?
no rosette rivets on VIN plate
no side mount wheel carrier
zip ties on heater hoses
driver's front spring hanger stop strap - something's goofy, welded on in wrong place?
Wiper blades
tach is not on SPID
seat cloth doesn't match SPID
(sure there's more I missed)

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't throw it out of my garage. All of these items are minor. Except for the radiator/shroud/hose I'd just drive it. But for that price I expect more.

B. W. - you didn't catch the dome light switches are missing too! It does say in the fine print that the shroud is included- just noticed

My 70 GMC doesn't have them either.

Does yours have holes for them? This one does

I don't personally think the average guy can do that overall quality of restoration without farming some of it out. Maybe its not 100% correct, but its at a level that I will never achieve, or even strive for. This caliber of truck is priced out of the common man's reach for a good reason. It's not a common man's truck. It is a show piece and it is priced as such. I would love to have one half as nice. I think these trucks will keep climbing in value until a daily will be too hard to reach, let alone one like this. Beautiful truck and one more thing, the guy posted PLENTY of pictures as if not to hide a thing.
