Using the the 100 point grading system some might consider this truck an 80 or "fine" .but not excellentnot perfect.
On the "1 thru 6" scale I would say it's a very good 3.

*Dale story related to this truck:
Tallahassee Florida: I attended a private Media event on Thursday January 30, 2014 at Dale Jr. Chevrolet Dealership. After my radio interview with Dale I asked if he would check out my truck and sign ithe, of course, was more than happy to.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. opened the door of this truck and signed the glove box. His entourage (assistant, photographer and Dale's sister) took 3 photos of him signing. (photo reveals paint scheme of the old door prior to my swapping doors) After looking it overwhile Dale was walking away gave me a "thumbs-up" and said "nice truck!"
Three weeks later February 23, 2014 he WON the Daytona 500 driving for Hendrick Motorsports - his second Daytona 500 victory breaking a 55-race winless streak.
No other truck on ebay has a story like that! Own it! You too will be getting thumbs up everywhere you go!
