Looks real good. I have seen better for half that price out here!! You want 17 for a truck but take crappy pics!

The small pics are due to the way craigslist uploads/displays. Though if I were selling it, I'd try to link in pics from an external source.

Before I restored my truck, I would have said that price was steep. Having gone through the process and having a tremendous respect for those that have done so (especially the paint and body work...NOW I know why it's so expensive!), 17k is a drop in the bucket. That's about half what I spent on my restoration. It adds up real quick, especially if you are trying to make it show quality.

I bet he has a lot more than that into it. Paint, motor, transmission, wheels and tires would probably eat that 17k right up.

Sounds/looks like a real nice truck.

I know it cost more to restore it. I meant quality of pics not the size my cheap digital camera takes a cleaner picture than that

We all know you never get out what you put into a project especially if your contracting out people to do parts of your project. Thats what eats up your profits. I tnink somepeople are just alittle tooo proud of the vehicle they got.
