Hi all-
I've been shopping around for a tow vehicle. I found a 1993 F-350 Duelly with 153K miles, the air lift level kit for the back under the leaf springs to level it out under loaded weight, an electric charger to the engine for cold days, automatic, clean cab, etc. Has a tow kit, the AC works great. I got it up to 40 mph (no license plate, didn't take it off the house's street) with no issues and brakes are clean. It has a new water pump, transmission less than 10K, and looks like they replaced the callipers in the front. Oh and I saw newer shocks in the front, not stock. Back likely has newer shocks too but I didn't see them.
Only problem is the thing is rusted underneath. More of a problem is the thing took a huge hit to the cab when the car port collapsed in the Winter, damaging the roof and taking out most of the windows. Passenger side door and rear windows appear intact -- everything else is cracked or removed and taped up.
The guy wants $3K. It needs a new set of fenders on the duellys (that's like $250-$500 plus paint and install), cab top needs major love, and needs about 4 windows replaced after that. KBB is saying this truck even in fair condition is about $4500. I'm thinking this is wrecked condition though, but mechanically sound.
I'll try to get some pictures uploaded tonight to add to the thread.
