I have a 92 F250 5.8L E4od 4x4 std cab std box and like 220K and a retired plow truck. Was using it for DD use and towing the truggy. But the cab is shot and it was uncomfortable towing long distances with the wife and my 6 yr old in the cab. So I

Traded my 1/2 ton Explorer for a one ton a few weeks back. :icon_hornsup:

1989 F350 Crew cab std box diesel 5 spd 4x4 and about 120K. Box is almost perfect but the cab floors and corners are rough. But runs top notch. Went to attica last weekend and got about 11 mpg at 70 mph on the highway and I can get 17 mpg dd'ing it if I am easy on it. The F250 got about 11 towing at 65 mph and 13 if I was lucky dd'ing it.

It's OK but I won't respect it because it hasn't been to Wall Drug.

If that truck was local to alberta the only parts that wouldn't be rusted through would be the door frames around the window's....nice find!
