Having seen the truck in person with Huthip, I know the entire cab and doors are solid. The water pump moves, the heater hose has broken off of the thermostat housing, and the generator pulley/bolt is missing. The interior is missing various things, and reeks of mouse. Both front fenders will eventually need repair/replaced. Most everything that looks like rust on the top surfaces of the truck is actually a thick layer of animal droppings/dust/guano. The frame shows no sign of cracks at the front of the flatbed. The rear axle appears to be the original, and it is leaking at the yoke. The 5 lug wheels are mounted by way of a 8 lug - hub centered, to 5 lug - stud centered adapter. The engine is stuck, and the generator pulley is missing. Huthip was asking about the cost of replacing the rear/all rims and tires. I suggested that he might want to go back to a singe rear wheel, but I didn't know the cost per wheel/tire. I suggested that he not pay over $700 or $800. I forget if the title is even available.
