The A/C hoses are NOT from a 71-72, The A/C engine brackets are correct. The water pump is a late model, The remote mirror is from a Chevelle/ Monte Carlo. It is NOT an El Camino mirror. The paint looks nice, I would need to see a LOT MORE.
The under hood is OK, But it needs a LOT of work.
Typical car salesman, When I see stuff like the front fender braces painted body color, I want to shut up and walk away. I would guess its about a 5-7000.00 Truck. Then again when you say ALL Origional, That I what I expect.

I can see the lower trailing arm and the bottom of the coil spring on the rearend.
Maybe the leaf springs are mounted outboard, or, how about on top of the coils?
Does he know the difference between leaf and coil springs?
