upgrade?

just want some opinions.i am very happy with my 92 7.3 idi.but my uncle has a 97 f350 ps,auto,4x4 reg.cab with 5,000 original miles on her.hunter green, garage kept and only worked a little bit.bought it new in 98 and dosent really like the diesel for just riding around and not working it.blue book is about $14,500.said he might take around $12,000 for it.i said i would never buy another slushbox but a truck like this doesnt come along everyday.my plow will bolt right on and i love the 92 to 97 bodystyle,always wanted a f350 too!i really dont like the idea of owning a electronic engine,but i guess its bound to happen someday!and powerstrokes arent that bad,are they.hey its still a cornbinder diesel,and you cant go wrong there,right?

The price would be hard to say no to with only 5000 miles on it. I think I would not be happy with the automatic, but that is just me. I like having a big left thigh from all the clutch work-outs in snow season.

You will like the power increase from you NA 7.3 I am sure.

I am also sure you will at one time or another say something like "I shoulda kept my old IDI truck"

All I will say is "Good Luck, it is still a Ford"

I would settle for the upgrade. I would probably install a set of guages and larger trans cooler. Good luck and keep us posted.
