Very nice tractor, I think you are really going to like it; love that truck.
Richard, we just lucked into a 2003 or 2004 rust free F350 that needs a little work, but pretty sound. I just can't bring myself to use my brother's new F350 on the farm. My other brother has a 92 GMC 454 gasser that flat lined some time ago.

At least with a 7.3 you can do a lot of the work yourself. The new trucks almost require all the work be done by the dealer. I'm sure one day I will get a newer truck... I will still keep my trusted 1997.

That would be my problem with buying a new truck. My 2000 fits me nicely. It's rusting out and has some farm rash but it's comfortable to use. I'm hoping to get another 4-5 years out of it. It's got 220K miles on an untouched 7.3L. I only put on 1K miles a month so it should do that.

It's all original except the air filter which is a Tymar..and I installed a larger downpipe. At 61 I'm not into chips and stuff...it's my tow vehicle. ..not the fastest..not the other hp or torque...but it gets done what I need it do.

I'm 65 and am the same way. My youngest Son recently bought an '05 6.0L for a song. Did the "fix" and has a very solid truck. Recently added a programmer. I teased him and said the only reason he added that was so he could keep up with my ole 7.3L. We trailer offroad buggies couple times a year and I trailer my tractors average once a month. I don't set any landspeed records but I'm consistent!!!!
