Good looking truck, it looks like either a tape line or un trimmed double stick tape behind the emblems. (between the R-A-M) Probably been painted.

Look at the bids, something fishy going on. It hasn't been there 3 full days and the price has gone from $500 to $4900 and the last bid gave it a $1400 bump.

It's a 4k truck as an automatic. It'd be worth what it's going for presently (5k) if it were a 5spd. JMO

I'll give you my opinion based on actual experience. A year ago I bought a Florida truck through an online auction. I bid the final amount that I thought it was worth including transportation charges. The online photos did not show the roof rust that it had. Nice truck but need the roof rust repaired. Granted there may be some real deals left out there but I learned my lesson. If I can't physically walk up and check it out body wise and I can't take it for a drive to find out if the rear end is going out or the clutch and transmission are properly functioning or can't hear the engine run then it is worth its trade-in value on Kelly Blue Book. Call me foolish the first time but let me do it twice and I will have earned the title of stupid the second time around! I think it's past time for a wake up call.

its missing the drivers seat arm rest.. good luck finding one of those! he also said the door panels are in great shape... drivers panel arm rest is pretty bad... inside the bed has had some weight to it. still not bad for the miles.

I personally hope it goes for 10 plus. After it does, post it on this site forever, for the insurance companies to see.
