Anyone in Chicago available to go put eyes on a Gen1 for me?

I'd be willing to toss someone a tank of gas or a gift card of their choosing if they were able to go check out this used, high mileage truck for sale outside of Chicago? https://chicagofinemotors.com/vdp/1...erCab-8ft-Bed-4WD-for-sale-in-McCook-IL-60525

I'm in Minneapolis. It's a one-owner truck with fantastic service history on the Carfax. Wouldn't hold anyone to issues but figure getting eyes on it before spending a few hundred on an airline ticket would be smart.

Are you providing armed security?

I was going to suggest just have a local steal it for you, if you don’t like it, you’re only out $250.

Beautiful truck, sure has an awful overbite with that bumper. Like Bubba in Forrest Gump

10 out of 10 chance that’s some shady dealer selling salvaged titled junkers that have been put back together with duct tape and zip ties.

I don’t know that particular dealer but lived in Chicago and the burbs most of my life. I can smell a scam dealer from 900 miles away.

Seen that Raptor somewhere before. Just recently, too.

8-foot bed???????????????????

Yeah....I'd get eyes on that, too, just to see if it's even there. Possible red flags.

I don't think it's actually an 8ft box.

If anyone is interested I did pay for an inspection through a service called R8tr (highly recommend) and they provided a ton of photos. It's mechanically sound, no rust but definitely a 10 footer. Explains why it's been sitting for 4 months at this sketchy dealership. I wouldn't be happy if I paid and had it delivered sight unseen.

I can post photos if anyone else shows up here interested.
