looks very much like a 1ton flat deck that's been extensively modified sometime by someone, regardless of who the original purchaser was - I'd say if the conversion was well done and it runs and drives it'd be worth 500-1500 to the right person, otherwise it's a parts truck ohwell

My only comment is: that is not a 9 foot bed. It may have started out that way. but 9' beds extend beyond the rear fenders. - I have seen this happen too many times where people cut a 9 foot bed short dang . Can't wait to see the VIN eek
