My 99 has the 99 engine and 97 axle. the dash and rear seats in a 99 is slightly different than other years. There is also a non superduty 99 f250 gas truck, which is just an f150 with a few extra leafs. Overall I'm quite happy with my truck, coming from a small block chevy getting 8-14 i get 14-20 unless i'm towing heavy which can get into the single digits but I can plan around 10mpg with 14k on the highway. If you don't do your own oil changes, call you shop and ask the price. 19qts to change it if you drain the HPOP doesn't come cheap. I shopped around alot and found mine locally pre dented for about what the price above with 145k on it. Since then I've added a few dents, done a bunch of front end work and had a crazy ex key it.
If the guy is good with his advertised truck, which I am thinking he is not, then I will double check your advice.

Thank you.
