It did not have a single section that was not beat bad. It was used as a farm tuck and he must have had more than a few run-ins with his livestock. But for $500 I drove it home over 750 miles and it has been my daily driver for over five years now. Now it has a bedliner paint job to hide the remaining wrinkles.... works pretty well I must say. I enjoyed the stress tested line BTW...:-} I should get my "stress tested" 01 Yukon back from the shop today.... I was the one that hit the bear last month. Hope they fixed it right...
