Another "What's it worth" question

The neighbour is moving and has this truck that he will have to sell.
1986 F-250 XLT Lariat, diesel, 4x4, supercab
*T-19 four speed
*power windows
*power locks
*captains chairs
*premium sound system
*meyer snow plow

They had it since new and used it to pull a fifth wheel across Canada. The truck has 173,000 miles on it. He plowed snow with it in the winter. It has not been used since 1996 because the clutch is worn flat out. I put a couple batteries in it, filled the fuel filter, cycled the glow plugs and away she went even after sitting for years. The box and fenders are shot because of extensive rust, but the cab can be saved. I want it because of the 6.9 with a four speed and plan on using it as a project truck. I am going to offer $400 for it. On my description what does it sound like it is really worth?
Thanks.

The ***** wants $3500 for it and its sunk into the ground 6 inches and it hasn't even been mowed around. I told him he could keep his heap and have fun trying to sell it. He can take it with him and park it in front of his apartment building downtown.

The pump on the plow is worth 400 easy.
With the plow and no clutch and the rust, I think 3500 is a little steep.
Notice I said "little"

$400.00 would be stealing it, $2500.00 cash might get it. Parting it out could net you more than $2500.00. $3500.00 is just too dang high.
