Don't really have a positive or negative opinion either way, so I will point out a few things that come to mind

Cons
  1. PA truck, so there is going to be rust issues
  2. Bed has been repaired/replaced
  3. Possible hot rodding along the way (5" bed exhaust)
  4. Missing front bumper with some kind of push assembly?
  5. Only a F150 (lower weight capacity, etc)
Pros

  1. Assuming owner is being honest/correct, lower mileage 5.8
  2. Crew Cab
  3. Body appears to be reasonably dent free
  4. Its a F150 (better ride than a F250 or F350)
Questions

Has the trans been gone thru? Any other major work? Whats the underside & undercarriage look like?

Its cool that its a Centurion. That stacks have to go, as well as whatever that bumper is. LOL...

Its hard to say, but if the engine and transmission only have 65000 miles on them and its in good shape, it could be a good truck. I would check it out for rust.

Side note: I don't understand why someone wouldn't at least wash a vehicle before taking a picture of it to put it up for sale.
