Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

Yes, that's a very nice truck.  The interior is awesome and the body appears to be very straight, with minimal rust.  Plus it has a tach and a clock.

But it says "Everything under the hood has been left alone other than maintenance, nothing sketchy at all, very very original and will pass smog."  And then it says "(Factory 4 barrel, 4 valve heads, different cam)"  Sorry, but 4 valve heads aren't stock.  In fact they are extremely rare, as explained here.  Perhaps someone told them it is "4V" heads, which they took to mean 4-valve?  But "4V" heads are Cleveland-speak, not Windsor.  And a "different cam" is hard to put in while leaving everything alone.

So, if everything has been left alone why didn't they show a single pic under the hood?
