Doesn't really look like a mall crawler, it's got some scratches, dents and dings but too much bling for my taste.

It looks exactly like your truck but with fancy rims and 10" more tire.

Dan you'll prob like my new truck I picked up yesterday. It's a 96 f350 4x4 like your old one. Brakes are mega spongy. Trying to bleed master and calipers now. New master is ready to go if I can't get them right.

What a pain!!! I swapped the master with no luck. Front brakes are new but I finally ripped off rear wheels to find ebrake cables on shoes broke or fallen off and shoes way too loose out of adjustment!
Now debating on doing disc conversion or swapping axle getting a posi while I'm at it, as this is a straight up one wheel peeler rear end.
Gotta do driver side ball joints tomorrow too! Gotta love when people don't maintain there junk. I understand why cops give lifted trucks a hard time.
O well still a good deal at $2450 for truck. Has a strong 351, 5 speed standard trans,and a properly done lift.
