Howdy,

Just picked up a new to me 97 F-250 HD, XLT, 460, 4wd, 4.10 axles. Only 94.5k miles on it and it looks great too. I live in the AZ desert and I'll be using it for hunting etc. and might get a travel trailer eventually. I won't be making many mods in the near term although I think a Flowmaster cat back is in the cards.

What did you end up paying for it, if you don't mind me asking? Very low mileage, clean looking truck for the year. Many people drive and beat the hell out of them, very hard to find so clean. At least in my area.

I gave $5200 for it, which I thought wasn't too bad. I had to put a new thermostat in it but so far that's the only problem
