An unexpected twist

Well, i was saving up for 7.5" lift, 35's, and gears for the longest time for my f150 and finally got the money for it, but then it hit me hard, my truck is 2wd, and i do some pretty serious muddding, so ill jus get a 4x4, and so i bought this with my lift money. now i have two trucks, one as a DD and one as offroad. Pretty good call i think on my part, and plus, i got an excellent deal, couldnt let it pass. Rebuilt 351w with 9k, rebuilt tranny with 15k, 4in lift, 33" k/o, mickey thompson rims, air lift in rear, 4.10 gears, lock hubs, LS rear, and many other extras but to much to list. $2800. and it hauls! 5.8L.
Wat ya'll think?

Thanks guys, yea its also got brand new paint, and only one small dent on top of the tailgate, and rear window doesnt roll down due to a faulty wire, but easy fix, other than that, it runs like new. interior needs work, but nothing that cant be fixed. It was a shop truck, so hasnt been offroad, atleast not with the owner i bought it from, and was rarely driven.

And Hardrock, your brother sold on for 8g? that must have been in super mint condition. lol

Thanks man, yea it started at 3500, and somehow i was able to bring him down to 2800. Like i said, it was to good to pass up. It runs and looks great, and has almost everything on it already to make it offroad ready. and NO major rust! that was important. I think KBB value for this was i wana say maybe 5-6g, i cant remeber, im jus not sure because theres not an option for rebuilt motors and tranny's.

Haha yea same here I wouldn't wanna dd it, but I'd rather build it and long travel it. I've seen a few built prerunner broncos and they don't even compare to a truck in how sweet they look.

you kno, im not a big fan of toppers, but on the bronco it looks good, but now that u mentioned it, and i tryed to picture it, ur truck mite not look to bad witha topper, u dnt see much f150 pre runners with toppers. It mite look pretty cool, jus having the whole truck flow better being the same size front to back. haaha

Haha yea, I've never seen one built with a topper so I could never decide if I'd like it or not but if one ever pops up on craigslist pretty cheap I might pick it up just to try it out for a while.
