I picked up a 1992 F350 XLT 4x4 5.8L and auto trans SRW crew cab long bed at an auction about two weeks ago. I paid $1500 which seemed a little high becauseof the chance something major could be wrong. All that I knew was that the motor runs and that it had sat for 3 years. I am going thru the truck now and hope to put $1k or little more in it. The interior is in very good condition. The front axle needs some components replaced. I like the idea of a government or utilty company vehicle. Generally low mileage and well maintained. Also check regional 4x4 forums for work trucks and parts.
Check the time on the engine. They ideal 10 hrs a day and drive 20 miles.
