Normally I would suspect the seller playing games but this fellow is a straight player.
I own 2 of these boxes with the rear step 46. Be happy to take $350.00. Model and box.
Go out and buy three more.
Think your right about the crack pipe.

That is a Great price on yours Jeff, that rear bumper variation was/is a bit rare except for our very last U.S. shipments of this Pickfords. You may find that the spare supplies of both the model and this picture box have now gone into collections all over the world, so you may not be able to replace them as easily as you think. Obviously, it seems the box is worth more that the tough rear bumper Van though.

Dick,

I was kidding about the selling. Might consider a trade. Been lucky on finding the models and the boxes. I still say that $350.00 is to much. I'll have to let my kids find out when I kick.
