The op asked if we thought the truck in question was worth the asking price, What part of your response helps him answer that question?

I shouldve clearly stated no I guess, I thought it would be clear enough from my comments but I guess some people lack reading comprehension.

Never buy a gas super duty, keep working on your reading comprehension, you will figure it out someday! Well, maybe not, but don't give up!

Huh , I have a gas superduty and it pulls everything I ask it to pull, including my 11,000 pound fifth wheel all over the country. But whatever I should probably get rid of it cuz diesel is the only motor for a superduty. You should probably go over to the diesel forum where you will be welcome. I am the third guy in this thread to tell you get a clue but you are obviously clueless.. Oh well I am done with this thread. To the op if you end up getting the truck keep us posted on the results and take some pics of the progress..

Congratulations, you must be so proud. an f150 can pull that. Get something more in super duty weight range then come share your awesome gas super duty towing experiences.

I think you did well it looks very nice. I wouldn't mind picking one up like that for that price. Now the fun begins bringing her back to life. Keep us updated on the progress..

That truck looks a lot better on your trailer. Not even any surface rust by the pinch welds. Good luck, thinking you did pretty well there.

I believe the trans to be a ZF5, but it has a cooler on it? I thought only the ZF6 had the cooler.

I'll keep you guys updated with more pics!
