Seller sent me some pics of the cab before and during body work. Corners were replaced (which one would expect). Bed looks decent. Seller was up front that it was built as a driver, not a show car. Still, not a bondo bucket.

If I weren't buried in my Corvette right now, I would be planning a road trip to NC. Sherri loves the tri five trucks, and for me this is THE color for a 57.

The only thing I don't like is the relocation of the fuel tank to the bed. If I am going to drive a pick up, it needs a full functioning bed. I get moving the tank out from the inside of the cab (guessing you can get more leg room that way) but don't lie it in the bed. Might be an under bed option; I have never investigated.

Lots of bang for the buck here, assuming the frame graft was done correctly.

Seller's response to my inquiry:

"Some bed pictures, not alot of the cab off closeup, yes cab corners were replaced, Texas sand was in the corners, had to replace a lower pass lower door jamb and driver floor was butchered enough I replaced it. Sending some pics let me know if you want to zero in on something. Everything was urethane primed before paint, then primer then 2 part top coat with 3-4 coats of clear. Meant to be a driver not a show car though, not been wet sanded, etc."
