Jack,
This is not limited to truck pictures it is that way with everything that they auction. I have seen the same thing with machine tools as well.

Most of these Levy Latham locations are single person operations responsible for multiple sublocations. My suggestion would be to call the Point of Contact listed on the auction site.

This is a personal gripe but seems like Levy Latham thinks rusted out tools are worth the effort to auction off. Strange what they have up for auction at times.

This is costly chaos for MV buyers and it's something that could be fixed easy enough if L. L. would get their act together.
