sorry just read the rest of the post.

unless its real cheap, i would be wary with all the other non stock items, it appears to me to be a vehicle which has nt had much care lavished on it
there are lots of these out there,i would be wary of jumping on this with..
wrong bumpers
wrong seat trim missing boards / altered bed
wrong gearbox
and who knows what else...

Looking further the rear water fed heater is missing. Goodness knows why the bed had those legs fitted. The rear nearside looks to be blown in.
Adding on the cost of going and rectification of the faults I wouldn't want to be paying more than 4.5 k

Especially when there are decent ones over here for not a huge amount more.

There are lots of California's, be choosy, ask for gutter pics too as they can rot badly.

where am I looking to find the rear water fed heater?
I am not too sure about that plug (only noticed it in the last round of photos sent)Its looks like to me a twin electric connection but it should have a grey or white cover,I don't think the seller knows much about it TBH
an old guy owned it before the seller and i think he touched it up here and there as in some places i can see the touch up paint like the seams etc,but my mates a sprayer so next winter it will be going in for a repaint,I just want to get this summer out of it if I can, sort of fix as i can as a rolling resto
I think the 1st thing would be gearbox if i can find the right one
If i said I was paying less than 2.5k for it how does that stack up?
