if i spent that much cash on a truck, the exhaust wouldnt look like it was put on by a 5 year old. i would also have used a 69-72 truck.

so all and all mehhh.
 
It bugs me when people use the word "restored" and I see stupid stuff like red painted rad hold down, ugly painted bowtie on the tailgate, cheesy knock-off centerline rims, fugly leather seats that are very out of place in that truck etc etc.

What also bugs me is when I see all these big claims for quality and money spent, but both the front and rear bumpers are very mis-aligned, the box is not level to the rest of the truck, the exhaust should be unbolted from the manifolds and thrown out so a pro can re-do it correctly, taillights are completely wrong too. he has wheel arch trim up front, but not on the rear? Dude, make up your mind.

I'd go $4-5K on that if the drivetrain was 100% rebuilt...to get it 'right' again would take 70% dis-assembly. To be honestly called "restored"...
