Just picked her up in October. 1994 F250 7.5L 4x4 with 85,000 miles. Almost brand new looking. Paid $24,000 and will take it any day over a new truck.

Very nice truck Blazerman. That's a beauty.

I was looking at an F-350 in Cheyenne, Wy. last October. You have some nice trucks down there.

I am looking at this beauty also. Same dealer i bought mine from. Same color scheme, just opposite. Yes, trucks here for the most part are taken care of. Not like Illinois where they salt the **** out of the roads.

Just to see what they'd offer, I took my LTD Crown Victoria to the local Ford dealership awhile back, and the trade in value was $800. Which, to be fair, was $20 more than I paid for the car.

The OBS trucks are hot right now. My next-door neighbor started out buying and selling classic cars from the 60s and 70s as his "retirement" side-hustle, now about half his business is OBS trucks. They sell much faster than the classic cars do.

Im all for good vehicles going for good money. But a 2wd 5.0 truck isnt worth 34k. Especially in Illinois. Look underneath and be frightened of spring hangers

That's a beautiful truck! I like the Rose color. It not common to see. How's the Interior and engine? Got pics? I've got a similar truck (2WD though), not as nice but surprisingly I get compliment on it all of the time.

Thanks, interior has a little wear but almost new. Engine I recently detailed. These were pics for the insurance company as it's covered for the full price.

I pulled and sold those mats. I went with the Husky direct fit liners, but thank you. I need some updated pics as I have cleaned it up since then and put in a new dash cover and NOS steering wheel.

Being the person i am.... i would buy it and swap doors so you have an alternating paint scheme lol. Had a buddy that did that same thing with a pair of opposing 2 tone chevys but did a bed swap. It was kinda neat.

Interesting idea. I just want 2 of the same trucks that I can work on myself. My wifes 2018 Colorado was at the dealer yesterday, needs a new catalytic converter. One of the plates broke and is rattling. We do at least have an extended warranty so $100, but national backorder. If the catalytic converter goes on mine, goodbye and straight pipe.
