The description is mighty sketchy, for a truck that's obviously cobbled together from pieces. One would at least expect him to say what engine's in it. Speaking of which, why no picture of the engine? I suspect there's a reason, like maybe it's the same greasy ratty-wired mess that it was when he drug the rolling chassis out of the barn.
The bed is identical to a homemade trailer I have that sits on its original corporate axle that as far as I know was never used on a 4x4. It might be a pilot-house bed, I'm not sure. The tailgate appears to be homemade, since it's not embossed with the rectangle and the word "DODGE" like it should be. Might not even have a rolled top. And what's with that rear bumper? Something off a 70s whatever.
Even the lug nuts look funny somehow, like they're tall dually inner nuts being used to hold singles on, or maybe they have those cheasy plastic caps on them.
Oh well. At least it didn't get junked, and if the body isn't 50% bondo, maybe somebody can get some good parts off of it someday.
