Yea it looks kind of nice but if you go through all the pictures you can see a lot of rust and damage that was painted over. The front cab mounts were toast and had diamond plate reinforcements welded in. Both rear door posts broke away from the floor pan and gussets have been welded in. You can see daylight showing through the rear floor of the cab. The roof seam area on the passenger side is bad and the window post is cracked. There is one door with a rusted out bottom and rust holes in one rocker panel. Pictures show rust pits and holes painted over. There a several areas that look like bondo repairs with grinder sander marks. The divers side cowl looks odd but can’t tell why. The roof looks as if the truck might have done a slow rollover. The fenders are too nice compared to the body so some replaced them.
The seller is correct that it was a work truck that shows it’s use but to me it looks like an east coast truck with a lot of signs of road salt rust. The sell has had it for less than a year. Is he just flipping it or he realizes there is a lot of work to do on it.
