do not fall out of your chair but I only paid $1,550 for it, I have had it for about a year and I love it. It has 121,388 original miles, when I got it all it needed was a tune up but it was making a sound like the timming chain was going out, my mechanic put a new cloyes roller timming set on it but it was still making the noise. It turned out to be the number one piston, replaced that and everything else that goes with it and now she runs great!

Good Deal

Looks like you got it for a good price. Nice straight truck, the engine bay looks great! If the interior looks as nice it is sweettttttttt! Got to love the older Fords.

Nice looking truck and nice paint in the engine compartment. I have been wanting to repaint my air filter but haven't yet.

In the cab the foam looks good, I would suggest getting a carpet or something to cover it as mine cracked from the sun.
