I did some wood enhancements to include a tailgate insert,
rear bumper , bed crown and interior details rounded out on our otherwise all
stock refurbished fishing rig.
Much of the wood was milled from a redwood community water tank demolished in 2001.
All wood enhancements including the interior cab doors ,the kick-panels , the headliner ,the cab floor and , the exterior running board trim strips
as well as the tailgate are fastened directly to original components in such as way , so not to alter the integrity of truck as build. No metal screws ect..

Man, Steve, I wish I had the money and the place. I love your "fishing" truck! Put a link to your ad in the "Diamonds" area, maybe someone on here will come through.

If there was an asking price, I must have missed it.

Copy and paste: hoping someone could chime in and give some unsolicited opinions. Hoping for opinions removes any opinion from the unsolicited designation.

Converting that $8000usd into loonies is $10,421. That is a rather high asking price for that truck, north of the 49th.

Is it really? It seems to be pretty nicely finished, around here you never see one that someone has bothered to do the undercarriage on.

My 55 R 120 is not as nice this one, but I would be hard pressed to take less than $10,000 for it!
These are not Fords or Chevys that everyone has! Mine is unique for my area and gets a lot of looks!
I will never sell it. My wife can sell it when I die, and I don’t care what she gets! It is an investment and I believe is always worth more than I have in it. That would be a deal around here! I would like to have another to ad to my collection! Maybe someday the right one will show up>

I have owned 14 of these L&R trucks and I was fortunate to not have paid $8000 for all of them. I appreciate that times have changed and the Binder values are way up.
I do not like that green, unless...……………. see picture
