    Pump the brakes here chief. Restoration usually means put back to factory condition, and I'm not sure I would use that word to describe this truck. One must contemplate if these really rolled off the production line with painted trim and windshield frame, a spare tire thats not the same tread pattern, two pairs of mirrors, and a brownchurch roof rack. Was the frame replaced? Are those tinted windows I see?

    Tires and jerry cans are things any one can buy, regardless of what condition their rover is in. You might want to post a description with a little more details about the truck and what's been done to it.

    Good luck with the sale!

    Not to be a word nazi but Rotisserie is spelled wrong. Also photos of work done would help. Right now this looks like a quick flip of new frame, new engine, paint and a lube job.

    This is a Consignment Vehicle out of New York, NY. We didn't do any of the restoration. When we do Consignments, we sell Quality Restored Vehicles. All the work was done by the owner and he has all the records. I do have more pics available upon request. All I need is an email address.

    Sorry about that! Thanks for the correction...no offense taken!! I can send you photos of what I have. The only ones I don't have are the underneath, which I can get. It is a Consignment vehicle so I will have to contact my client for some. All I need is an email address.

    Looks like a solid truck. I think the problem is a restoration means it's "restored" to a previous factory condition. This truck is not. perhaps you need to advertise it as a renovation or a rebuild. I don't think Lanny Clark would paint the parts that are supposed to be galvanized and call it restored. Just be honest about what you have and you might get a better response.
