SEABOARD decals shot. Paint chipped, nicked, dinged and rubbed. Front handrails bent, LF missing entirely. Good divots at back of cab. BOTH window mullions broken out, with a good amount of damage to window frames. Front stack not seated in hood. Hopefully it isn't glued like that.
"Condition is Used and untested."
Good disclaimer, there. Repair an repaint, $50?

Didn't take. Not sure, other than the HUGE length of the URL. Seems da bait does that on some items to track, I usually cut everything off from the question mark to the end, and I think I failed to do that.

Looks more like it's "abused". Both stacks seem to be wobbling around from picture o picture. One shot form the bottom looks like the shell may be damaged and they aren't locking in? Either that or the locking tabs are gone?

Thanks for the fix, Dave.
yeah, lots of little stuff wrong.
If it was the only one left it would be a story.

Agreed. Lots of miles (as well as dirt and rust) under those wheels.

The seller seems to be hiding behind the disclaimer. $50 bucks maybe if you really, really, really must have this. I can't see why. :roll:

Hard pass.
