A truck with a lift gate :)

2001 F150 long bed 5.4L V8, with only 20k miles on it. Was a government vehicle. The Tommy lift is 1300lb capacity. Now I just need to put some racks on it. Crappy pic but here it is :

Edit : Before anyone asks it was $7900 obo, I got it for a little less than that.

Nice pickup..

hopefully they beefed up the springs as 1/2 ton is a little light duty to add a liftgate and carry games..

I was thinking the same thing. Not very often you see a lift gate on a 1/2 ton. Probably plenty of truck for hauling arcade games though.
 
What a great price. Looking for a truck myself; hope to find something as good for as low a price.
 
Awesome truck Dave! That lift gate will be a real back saver. You should drive it out here and we can weld up some racks for it.
 
So what's the best way to beef up the suspension on this a little. Better shocks ? Ranchos or Bilsteins, or some airbags that you can inflate ?

It should be fine for most stuff, but adding some "helper" leaf springs will beef up the rear suspension and increase your load capacity.

I cant believe someone hacked up a classic F-150 like that! You should make it original again.
