Do you have a use for a low GVW F250? If not, pass.

For 200 ots hard to pass on. Even if its just for practice/knowledge. If you got it running easily you shouldn't have a problem selling it for more.

Probably cost that much to get titled/registered in most states.

Some of the most expensive vehicles there are, are the ones that are either free or dirt cheap.

It's worth more than $200 as scrap metal. However, it could be just that: scrap.
I'd spend a day trying to get it running but I wouldn't put much money into it.

so far the only thing wrong with it is a bad starter. someone wired in a push button and i think the starter stuck on, the bushing on the commutator was gone and it had been over heated that and the key doesn't come back to lock yet. all minor stuff and i have several people who want to buy it once i get it running.
