I just saw an F250 on the tucson craigslist for $3600. If I didn't already have two trucks I would have jumped on it. I wouldn't hesitate to pay $4k for that one. Better deals will always popup somewhere, but they are getting harder to find.

I'm with Boss on this, I think 4K would be a good price for it but if it's local and you want it spend the 5K if needed. In today's world the extra 1K will go quick just driving around looking at trucks and getting it home if it's not local.

I agree with all of the recent input from seasoned veterans of early Ford ownership and shopping results.
1976, I got the burning desire to restore a '56 Chevy Nomad wagon because they are different and not something we see every day.
I chased a lead on a '56 an old guy had in his backyard. It had hit something in the front as the front wrap was blue and white, and the original paint on the body of the wagon was black and yellow. That old geezer wouldn't budge a buck below his $2,500 asking price. I paid the $2.500 in full and drove the wagon home on 5-cylinders. hahaha
End result: It was a two-year resto, and I enjoyed driving that shiny Nomad for 22-years afterwards. I sold it for 10k in 1998 when I accepted a State job on the Pacific Coast in Eureka, California.
So, if you feel the need for the pickup, you can lay-out $4k in greenbacks, and Good-Luck. or just hand over the $5k and everyone is Happy.

Well the owner wont budge on his price and I just dont see that old truck being worth 5k, I offered him 3500 and he acted like I had shot his dog. If it were a short bed with a v8 I would jump all over it. I'll keep on searching for the right one.I know its out there.
