Seems like a clean truck with not too bad miles on it. made in 11/94, 5 speed manual, extracab, has a lift on it with 33" tires. I currently have a 1985 F250 and it is great but slightly embarassing pulling my 23' sea ox up hills so I am looking for a bit more pulling power.

I reccommend watching this guys series of videos about buying a used powerstroke he has 4 videos overall. It saved me a lot of money when I bought mine because I knew what to look for and what to avoid.....good luck!
YouTube - HOW TO BUY A USED POWERSTROKE DIESEL TRUCK - INTRO (intro)

All of those are Great info.
One thing i would add is to try and find out what kind of lift it is. If it's an add a leaf, check the front springs for cracking. unlikely, but possible. If it doesnt have as many miles, it shouldnt be a problem.
