Good comments Clint. I agree, it may "appear" to be overly critical when it is pointed out that the truck has the wrong bed for the year, or the interior is too fluffy looking, or that the running gear is non-original, but the use of "restored" is not truly accurate when these situations exist. Perhaps "refurbished" might be a more accurate term.
My 1966 F350 has a 1968 frame, 1973 front axle, 1978 rear axle, non-original 428 engine, power steering, Hydratech braking system, and a flat bed. People ask me: "Did you restore it yourself?" :)
