ford experts--is this a 'run like the wind' scenario or worth investigating?

I am oh so casually looking at bigger trucks for sale, in order to get a feel for what we might be spending in a year or so to upgrade.
I like fords and have had three 7.3 engines over the past 20 (holy cow!) years and if I could find a 450 or 550 4x4 crew cab with low miles in great shape I'd be really tempted to go for it.
tonight I ran across this truck and thought it might be good to learn from.
here is the ad, the truck had the original engine replaced by ford and now is reported to run like a top.
Kind if sound fishy the way the ad reads. I would be careful...lots of questionable information. I have mine for sale here only after I sell the toy hauler. Low miles and never a problem, same year and set up for hauling larger rig. See my classified ad for details and PM if interested or have any questions.

doesn't sound bad but a couple of glaring questions. Why did he take off the flat bed and replace it with a normal "new" bed along with what looks like a new bumper (without the back up warning sensors). He says the truck has never been in an accident but that is the first thing I thought might have happened when I read the article, bad accident to the rear 1/2 of the truck and the bed and bumper needed replaced. Hopefully that is a wrong assumption on my part and this one is a "diamond in the rough".
