Brew...my neighbor down the way had a 96 F250 in dark Green, Regular cab, XLT and it is quite nice. It has 58k on the speedometer. He drives it once a week . I've tried to buy it 3 or 4 times with no luck. About a month ago he called and said he was moving and asked if I still wanted to buy it. He want 8500. I thought long and hard about buying it, but decided I have had enough of the GEN 8 and 9's. If I buy anything now, it will be a GEN 12 or 13.

I've been looking at a 2014 Lariat 4dr, but I really want a regular cab 5.0 4x4. I think I'll hold out for what I really want.

My Buddy has a 96 F350 extended cab with a 460. Only has about 70,000 miles on it because it's sole purpose in this life is to go camping and travel. It's one heck of a beautiful truck, and it is also all white.

Sounds nice. I'm going with 1 ton diesel to pull that trailer. What gets me is that I can get a very clean low mileage 6.7 for the same price as some of those old 7.3's I've looked at. Actually, on average, the 6seven for 5 grand less. Sad really. And these trucks are southern vehicles.
I would like to make a 6.7 work, but man that could be huge mistake lol.

The old 460 But man they are gasoholics lol.

Picking the trailer up Monday, made an attempt to look at 13. Pipe dream finding one that old that hasen't started rotting. Pulled in the lot and under the truck was full of rust, body looked fine, undercarriage looked like it 30 years old. Screw it lol.

Well we are checking this one out Monday, pretty close to the trailer pick=up point -

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...odelCode1=F350

Nothing special, no frills puller with low miles (39,000). I'm thinking if I can ****** a 6.7 with low miles, I can prevent it's early demise...If I don't use it much and service the snot out it lol.

They are monsters for power and torque. But no where near as reliable (after 100-150,000 miles) as the 7.3's or Bullet Proofed 6.0's.
When the 6.7's go down, they are down for the count UNLESS you have double deep pockets. Triple deep next time around.

Going try one looks like, maybe not this one, but one like it. lol.

Scorpion Data if interested, -

Yea, not doing that now. Well, figured we would have time if we left in the morning, which we did if we left early enough. The dealer couldn't fit us until 3:00. Guess we needed an appointment to pick it up lol. That changed what about 15 minutes ago, (well about 45 minutes ago now). it's in the morning now (I complained a bit).
Apparently it's a 2 hour process once we get there for them to show us how everything works, plus I expect they will attempt to sell me overpriced accessories iduno, but they said to plan on 2 hours anyway. I'm going to confirm a few other things while I'm there and being that they close at 5...

Better all around, looking at that one was more of a fill in. Besides, I spied a spec of rust on one of the rims.
