Which begs the question... how much of this is actually a cosmetic rebuilt (a clean and repaint) instead of an actual frame up rebuild. I didn't see any pictures of the frame from underneath...

And apparently you are not supposed to drive it since there is no place to put the license plate...
Sure does not look like a quick rebuild to me. I guess I don't understand all the criticism of this truck. I see trucks that have been lowered with 22" wheels,set on a newer frame,jacked up,small block chevys,customized,and really crappy body work and it almost brings tears to my eyes.That truck is not 100% as new from factory, but looks VERY nice.Please post pictures of your nicer truck. Thanks, Dave
