Its got my vote:dunno 4wd diesel 5 speed, whats not to like. Put a plow on it and make $5 grand in the first winter on this side of the country. The rear receiver set up looks a little extreme, wonder what thats all about.....

no kidding on that rear reciever, looks like it got reamed a new one a few times.

i like that he put that the engines are good for 700k, a bit of a stretch but its a cheap truck.

Why a stretch? It's a 1st gen PSD. Those things are good for over a million if you remember the little things (like those pesky UVCH's). Looks like a decent deal to me.

would that trans an front axel swap over to my truck or no? 89 srw 5speed

Yes. The bell housings didn't change until the Super Duty's came out. 1st Gen Powerstrokes have the same as an IDI. And the front axle will have the SAE bolt pattern. Same thing about changing with Super Duty's; they have metric.
