looking to buy

Hey guys. I'm down here in Tn and I found a '93 Ford f-350 i am interested in buying and wondering if you would let me know if it is a good buy. It is going up for auction and I can't preview it until day of sale. I do know it is a 7.3L Turbo and it is 4wd and a manual. What are some other things i should look for and are 93's known for and crazy problems, or are they know for something great. Any pros and cons will be appreciated I need it for hauling adn work and camping

Thanks. Hoping to get into ford

If it is a 93 then it won't be turbo unless it was an aftermarket addition. The 93s were good trucks, and being a 4x4 5 speed diesel it will be reliable provided that it was cared for. If you can give us more info, we might be able to provide more insightful opinions.
