Interesting truck.  I was curious to see if he'd regeared due to the 35" tires and he did - 4.56's.  And our calculator says he's right, it should be turning 3000 RPM at 70.  At first I thought that he should have put a ZF5 in as it would drop the R's to 2300 at 70, but then I remembered that the T18 has the 6.32 first gear while a wide-ratio ZF5 has 5.72:1.  So for offroad he chose wisely.

Also, this truck has both the trim on the wheelwell opening as well as the trim ~3" away.  I don't like that as it looks really busy and, if I remember correctly, Ford never delivered trucks with that combo.

Last, I'm not sure it'll get the $18K he's asking.  I find you tend to get 1/2 of what you've invested, and at $14K plus the original price of the truck, which I'll assume was $4K, that's $18K and I'll guess he won't get more than $10K.
