A 1981 with a 460 (?) and the blotchy neon green and flat black paint job... screams not-knowledgeable and kid-owned. Probably worth about half the asking price. Maybe I am being harsh on someone else’s project in progress but in my experience trucks with that look to them have been really beat on and butchered.

I would agree - beat on.  Depending on how the 460 was installed there could be all sorts of problems as it should have had the perches change out to make the engine sit down where it should be.  But most don't and the engine sits high and the drive angle is wrong.

I'd pay $1000 for the 2wd one vs $1800 for this one.
