Just bought 1, didn't really need, and the price went up to $17.79. But that's still a good price.

Yup the belt fits a 5.4 3v f 150 with AC (air conditioning). It took me a while to find a correct part number, a lot of website fitment guides were misleading and flat out wrong.

I did a little more research and turns out that 04 is different length and the 05-06 has different length than 07-08 3v 5.4L with a/c. They get longer the newer the truck.

Searching the part number I found it for $15.95 on Ebay. I wonder if they are old stock. How old is too old for a new belt?

I think they are... I noticed my gatorback package had the belt routing procedure for the older ford 5.8 Windsor motor. It did not say anything on it about the 5.4 3v.. But it still fits great!
I think these belts are becoming extinct, all the local parts stores and many online retailers just stopped carrying them. I'm not sure why.
Age is but a number. If the belt was sitting in a properly climate controlled environment, then it's probably fine...
