Looking for a couple trucks...

I'm looking for two trucks, figured I'd post here see if any of y'all might have leads for me.

I need an F-250 or F-350 4x4 crew cab 8' bed SRW for myself. Don't need anything fancy-- XL/XLT/Lariat all okay, prefer not King Ranch cause I don't like the brown leather interior. I'd prefer the 6.0L engine, just cause Cheezit and others have convinced me that it's the best. My wife doesn't want white or red, but we're not gonna be picky.

I also need an F-350 or F-450 4x4 with no bed, a flatbed, or a utility bed for the lodge I'm running (flatbed preferred). Again, don't need anything fancy... XL/XLT/Lariat all okay. That one needs to be DRW since it'll get used for plowing and towing. That one can be regular, super, or crew cab. Again, prefer the 6.0L engine. Need to pay around $15,000 for this one, and we're dependent on a donor to finance it, so not sure when that money is going to come through. Course, if any of you need a tax write-off and want to just donate that truck, it would be more than welcome

I currently own an '03 F-250 XLT supercab with the regular bed and owe about $14,000 on it. I'll need to get that truck sold/traded and my final financing around $16,000 or less after paying off that loan and financing the new truck.

Anyone got any leads for me? I've been looking at eBay and have found some good looking options in Texas, but would prefer to buy from someone I "trust" (FTE community) rather than a dealer that's anywhere from 8-18 hours away since I wouldn't be able to test drive it without some serious travel and time investment. Obviously if either truck has already had the main 6.0L bulletproof things done that will significantly raise it's value for me and I might be able to find a way to swing a little more on each.

Thanks y'all!

I would think that also putting it here would be a good idea
Marketplace - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
You would get better exposure for the one you have for sale under the
Trucks For Sale heading. Hope this helps

Well you did ask about some 6.0L trucks after all.
Other places may take uninformed pot-shots.
Try asking a 6.0L question in the
Super Duty & Heavy Duty Forums.
You get anything from a good answer to the pot-shots.
