Sounds like a good deal. These Fords from 87-97 have a low resale value, but IMO are the best trucks of this vintage. Easy to work on and parts to repair are cheap.
The 351 has 200hp/315ft/lbs of torque. Hopefully this particular truck is the 8600GVW "HD" version of the F-250. Then it would have heavier springs, Sterling rear axle, and ZF 5-speed.
On the AC, alot of times the "Cycle Switch" is what is to blame for the ac not working, seldom does the ac compressor go out for awhile. Turn the AC on, and see if the compressor pulley rotates. It should be the inner one that spins too.
If it doesn't go to a local discount auto parts place and have them test to see if the system has enough R12. Then replace the switch. You can replace it yourself, it won't release that much R12.
With proper maintence and care, these trucks will last 230k+ on original motor!

Sounds like a decent deal. I bought an 88 F-250 , 5.8, 4.10's and HD front end with a snow plow last summer for about the same money (mines a C-6 though). So you're getting a newer truck for similar money. But as with any used vehicle, condition and previous maintenance practices are EVERYTHING. good luck with your new ride.
