Given the hail everywhere east of the mountains here in CO, everything older than 5 or 6 years gets it eventually.... Not a blemish on this garage beauty.

heck there's isn't even any rust on the trailer ball.... probably never towed a mile in its life.
 
It looks good, but check out the third from the bottom.

Pure speculation here, but I would imagine it matched your secription of most vehicles in the area prior to August.

Cant speak to bumper, hitch ball, or other chrome/shiny bits, but most of those things are easily replaced.

Nice looking truck either way.
 
It's probably in good shape but don't mistake it for "mint." Look at the passenger fender to hood fitment. Also passenger door. Its got miles on it.
 
I completely missed the new paint in the list - when people start listing all the parts they "threw at it" before deciding to give up and sell it I assume they just don't know what they are doing, read the first 3 lines and skipped the rest.

And believe me, the body shops around here are real practiced at getting out 2 things collisions from the californian's first time on snowy roads and hail dents....
 
And, it has an A4LD. :(

I have the same concerns about the recent repaint; and I'm not too wild about all of the aftermarket parts, but that's just me . . .

Being it was grandpa's truck and inherited, it's probably in pretty decent shape, though.

Seller is calling it a "regular cab" but it's a Super Cab.
 
Who needs a club if you got a log chain?

Its a hodge podge. Base model fender badges, higher trim 4wd alloy wheels on a 2wd and a bed with STX badges. I don't think you could get the STX on a 2wd. I also don't think silver painted bumpers like that where a thing. Either black or chrome, bumper looks spray painted.
 
well if they pounded out a bunch of hail dents and painted it I would bet they "did something" to the bumpers too - probably spray paint as you say...

I was trying to dope that out, too, and in that interior shot that you reposted, it looks like a big hole in the headliner where the touch shift panel would go.
 
If quality work was done on it, sometimes high prices for one that has been done right is cheaper in the long run. I have bought enough used cars and trucks that they only get uglier one you get them home. You really have to go thru one to get it done right and what was not taken care of by previous owners.
 
I thought so... he came out and bought tires from me once. Nice guy.
