Bank drafts can be forged but you can also verify their legitimacy before releasing the goods. Before you give him the truck, go to your bank and have your bank call his bank and verify the draft is legit BEFORE they deposit it to your account. It works better if you set this up in advance by talking to your bank so you are sure both banks are open and you have verified the other bank's phone number off the web, not the bank draft you receive.
The other option is to have him wire the funds from his bank to yours. Those are guaranteed funds.
Final choice is Cash, but again you need to ensure it isn't counterfeit.
