Default Should I buy this F150?

Hi everyone, I'm looking at buying a '92 F150 4x4, has a 5.0, has new brakes front and back as well as brake lines, all 4 front shocks are new, new heater core, ball joints on the passenger side, passenger side box had body work and paint done, newer front fenders (I believe they were just taken off an F250, but still look good) has rust on drivers side rear wheel well (not a big deal to me) and needs a parking brake cable and muffler for safety, comes with a boat rack and a cap, has 206,000 kms. the guy wants $1300 firm, is it worth it?

I'll try to upload pics in a few minutes.

I do believe its the original motor and transmission, that's another reason why I thought I would try to get some opinions on if its worth buying it with over 200k on the motor, if I do end up getting it I'll be putting 40" LTBs on it

i bought my truck 3 months ago with 220,000 miles on it orginal motor and tranny.

if it runs good you dont have a problem.
test drive it cold and hot and city and highway if possible.

but my truck gave me no problems.

first thing highly recommened is the basics
oil change, fuel filter , tranny , raditor plugs and wires
you know basic tune up almost to the truck.

Definitely have to give it a tune up, never know what its been through, not much for city driving here though, just highway and back roads/bush trails, I'm going to have a look again on Tuesday and try it out
