The color fading to the molded in black color is pretty easy to explain.
Back in the middle 1990s we cleaned, foolishly, the dash pad in an old car with.... something? I don't remember what. But it took the coloring right off and you saw the black instead of red.
As for the cracking, dashes on these cars have been doing that for a long time and plenty of them were already cracked in the 90s.
What you need to remember is once the plastic trim on these cars degrades, you can rub it ONCE and leave a deep wide groove..... it just kinda falls right off to a deeper level with barely a touch
I dunno man... this trim is just as degraded as mine, also the same colour, and I have 100k more miles, most of which have been outside I'm sure.
These things can all be explained away. The tape line I referred to could have just been a Friday on the assembly line, the rusty speedo could have been coffee splashed and not cleaned up, the black seat belts I was schooled on by
Ribbedroof. But I would certainly be going through this with a fine tooth comb at that price, if I were in the market for a crew cab, that is.
I just don't believe that an unmolested car can look that good on the outside, but have so many signs of age on the inside. Really the only things that look good and aren't covered up are the seats and seat belts.
The pedals would tell the real story.
