Default Is it worth $1500?

I need some help from the Cummins guys. I have the chance to buy an early 70's model Ford with a 91 12v swapped in. It came out of a totaled truck with 160k on the clock. This truck is still in project status. The cab has been painted inside and out but there is no bed. It has the whole drivline out of the 91 and has the 1 ton suspension. Its a dually and the owner never found the bed he wanted for it. I havent seen it in person but I have seen pics and it looks good so far. Its over and hour drive to go see it and I am wondering if its even worth messing with. If it was a 4x4 I wouldnt hesitate. Either way I will have to store if for awhile. So what do you guys think?

Love Ford. And a Fummins is even better.

Im helping a buddy restore a 69 F100 and Ive been getting attached to his truck. Now I want one of my own, but with a diesel. Just debating if I should try this one out or just do my own swap with a 94-97 12v.

That 12 valve is worth at least half that. I say if you like the truck go for it sounds like a heck of a deal to me.
