Paint & Finish
This isn’t your off-the-shelf patina job. The body features a professionally executed custom patina paint with heavy clear coat sealing in every detail. You can’t feel where bare metal ends and paint begins—this is a top-tier finish. While some dents remain to retain character, there’s absolutely no rust or rot.
This truck will be selling with milage as EXEMPT. Due to the truck going from OH to FL there had to be an Assigned Vin to the truck based on the owner not putting trim tag back to the original area. The original trim tag is riveted inside glove box.
