That eBay turbo is NOT a authentic Borg Warner turbo.
It's 'aftermarket ' ........ China....
But you can find real Borg s475's in the 550$ price range- with free shipping..... Big deal on turbo shipping due to weight!

It starts really getting fun next week when more parts get here so I will be taking more pics then
Looks great man. Very similar to mine. Currently working on body work getting ready to spray Blitz Black over everything as the truck has desperately needed paint for some years, also really really high mileage. Nothing fancy, just functional, tough and sinister.

Here it is before I parked it for this build. The baby moons are just sitting on the wheels so they aren't centered:
