On Dec-12-10 at 19:30:14 PST, seller added the following information: I've been getting a lot of calls and emails asking how much it would take to end the auction early and my answer is, i'd like to let the final bid determine the price and give everyone a fair shot at winning it. If you look and compare to others for sale, or at completed ebay listings you'll see that in this condition these sell for well into the $20,000's and cost much more than that to restore at this level. Someone is going to walk away with a great truck and great deal.
