1-look at the shadows.
2-why would a person not take them all at the same time? What a pain in the **** to take 2 pics, drive the truck, park it and take 2 more pics.
3-look at the background, it is the same just different angles.

Look at pic #4, where it shows the front of the truck, the passenger wheel is straight, the drives wheel is turned in slightly.
All pics where taken at the same time, look at the oil stains in the street just in front of the truck, it is no farther or closer to them in any pic.
Either they were in a accident, or they replaced the tire rods and have not had a alignment done.

Hmmm....I'll take your word for it, because you are normally right, but it looks normal to me

If I wasn't so lazy, and it wasn't dark, and I wasn't lazy, I'd go test it on mine right now...

I see a slight angle in the wheels in photo #6 i believe, and could see the steering wheel at that angle. What everyone seems to be missing is that it is a 2003, not a 2004.

It's amazing how much we can judge a vehicle simply from pictures.
I agree: those aren't the leather seats, there are no seat heater switches, and if the steering wheel turns that far to move the wheels that much, it must be a special 8 turn lock-to-lock vehicle.

Give us more pictures, and I'm sure we could find at least a dozen other things wrong with it.

Wow. I'm impressed. You guys really know your stuff and thanks for your input once again. I think I will skip this car as the owner doesn't seem to know what he/she is putting up for sale.

Cheers,

Chris

My last comment as well as ylodisco2's were purely in jest. I didn't see any pictures of the headliner, and there is no way to tell of a failing actuator from pictures. We were just joking about common problems on our beloved trucks.
