Default Give your opinion of this truck I am looking at..

Like the title says, what do you think? I would definately lose the lightning badges, but the wheels and everything else would stay. I think this is the non intercooled Kenne Bell kit- can you add the intercooler from the 9psi version easily? I know the intercooled version with a conservative tune can put about 360hp to the wheels which would be fine for me (for now). Anyway, here is the info...

FOR SALE: 1998 F150 4.6 extended cab black. 145k miles. Newer 50k mile 1999 PI engine installed this year. Truck has the now discontinued kenne bell kit pullied at 6 lbs. Kenne Bell boost-a-pump Bassani exhaust for a lightning with x pipe and twin mufflers side exit behind rear wheel, pace setter headers, rear cats removed. Truck has lightning rims with new hankook tires. Truck is lowered 2 inches back and front front has drop coils and rear has shackles with 2 year old leaf springs. Two year old tounneau cover on back. Boost, oil and water temp gauges. Cd player. Tint. Lightning front end and aftermarket fog lights.
Truck is well maintaned new front and rear brakes last year. New ball joints, upper control arms and front bushings 2 years ago.

$7000 negotiable

Here are the pictures...

It isnt very close- it is in Illinois and I am in Mississippi. He is supposed to be getting me some detailed pictures of the interior and undercarriage.

its a ford....

it has a lot of miles and the interior needs some cleaning and i personally dont like the stray red and blue wires strung across the engine bay, makes one wonder what else was half *** done because someone was in a hurry.

but like nevada79 said, it does seem like a lot of truck for the money

here is my dilema- I could spend $7k on this now, but there is a possibility that I will be able to buy my work truck in the near future for about the same price. I am about to hit my mileage (150k) and they usually give us the option to buy them. But since my company was acquired by another, I am not sure if this will be offered anymore. Mine is an '04 F150 5.4 4wd ECSB that had a new Jasper engine installed at 105k.
