Which would you go for?
Option #1. 95 F350 XLT crew cab, PSD, auto, 185K, 4" or so lift, newer 35's on aluminum wheels, minor damage to tailgate, fender flares, wood grain dash, tow package, grille guard, CD player.
Option #2. 97 F350 XLT crew cab, PSD, auto, 192K, stock wheels w/decent tires (no lift), shell on the bed, Rhino lined (w/carpet kit for shell), tow package, decent shape inside/out.
Could probably get my hands on either one for $8500-$9000. I'm drawn to the 95, wife likes the 97

i would go for the '95 and tell the wife that it's cause it's got lower miles, but really you probably want it cause of the lift, tires/wheels, and the exhaust!!!!
... but if your lookin' at putting a SD HPOP on the truck then i would go ahead and get the '97 because it's going to be a lot less work to do than on the '95.

The 97. Gauges are more expensive than a DP plus it shows that the owner knew to keep things in check. Though it may also mean it had a chip in it.
The 97 will have more updates on the tranny and the superduty hpop will be a direct fit unlike the 95. Also the 97 has 225hp and the 95 has 215

The benefit of the SD HPOP is higher ICP pressures to drive the injectors once a chip or larger injectors are added. And no the 10hp doesn't make much difference. easily overcome with a chip

Okay sorry guys, now there are 4 players
#3 is another 95 F350 XLT crew cab, 171K, auto trans, don't know anything else because the dealer closed before I got ahold of them. They are asking $12950 which is way high for a 95 IMO, not sure whether or not I could get them down to the same price range as the other two or not.
#4 is another 97 F350 XLT crew cab, 155K, 5 speed, runs and drives good, 5th wheel and bumper hitch, will need tires soon, basically all stock.

no they do not. the IDM, i believe, ups the voltage going to the injectors, but the HPOP allows for more oil to fire the injectors. the HPOP will be a lot better than the stock b/c once you add a chip then the stocker will not be able to supply the oil demand, but the SD HPOP should be more than capable to supply enough oil to run the injectors.
