I looked at that one already. Frame rot is a deal breaker. That's why it has been for sale for 4 months with no takers. There are some from this gen that have very clean frames. Keep searching.

 

17,500? not for that price

 

Try to find a southeast truck not exposed to salt . My 05 in florida is without rust even after running thru hurricane salt water pools on road . We wash the underside good after an event .The car washes here offer that service. Never touch a northeast truck .
I could have connected you with several really nice f150's ,guys died widows didn't want them . Would have been in 25k to 30k area but worth it . I would not touch an old 4x4 unless I knew the owner . I can see 2k to 4k in 4x4 repairs real easy . Not even touching engine .
