I'd go with the F-250, and use your truck as a parts truck, or save it to fix later. That is assuming all the cost is the same for fixing up your current truck, as buying the other one. Maybe you can find a cheap 4x4 with no engine or something and you can put the 300 in it, or just sell it.

I would say go with the 250 also. You can always fix up the other truck slowly over time to give you a project.

Also you can sell that truck or its parts to make up some of the money you spent on the 250.
