I been hunting a 250/350 for a little bit with the help of a couple members
Looking for value I guess. From a wider range
My truck budget is lowish. But it needs to be a pick up, otherwise I'd be at Raj's place with $3200
Here's craigslist ad

I took it for a ride. Body is exceptionally clean for 300k miles, interior as well other than the headliner is shot. Small tear in drivers cushion, common. Little rot on the inside of doors, but nothing showing outside yet. Drivers wheel wells are good. Passenger bed wheel well is starting to bubble. Common and actually impressive for 300k miles. Tires are dry rotted,it needs shocks all around and the steering is off center slightly. I got a guy for all that at a discount :-D
It passes the 2 big 6.0 tests with awesome results, better than trucks I looked at with under 150k miles
Eot/ect delta is 1-3degrees when up to temp. Most are near 8-9. 15 being the max according to ford. That's when the oil cooler is plugged and the heads are about to lift.
Completely stock, egr still intact, 300k passes rudimentary blow by test as well. Trans was at 160-163 after a few hard runs when warmed.
As you see he's asking 8500 which I feel is high for the miles.
What's a "non-craigslist-dick" offer? But yet Reasonable for me. The guy is pretty nice and seems honest.
I don't care about color, tan is fine, I prefer other colors but can't be picky with used work trucks. I've had good luck with the 6.0. I know some of you would rather lick the sweat off a dead mans balls over drive a 6.0....... but Im asking for advise.
