Alright, I don't know exactly what's going on here, but does everyone else see the same info under the new "Tags" thing in this thread? No I will not type those words because some parts guy is probably playing games trying to get one of us to say it so he can add some quotes to his signature. 
Hope your search is not too frustrating Rad. Trying to find my wife a truck seemed to take forever. If you find something in the Dallas - Fort Worth - Waco, Texas area I'll try to swing by and check it out for you.

I just added the belen tag.
Just click on "edit tags" along the right bottom corner.
Rad, that Belen truck looks like a pretty good deal if the driver's seat isn't all butt crushed.
Look it over carefully for torn ball joint boots, tie rod ends, etc.
I don't think you will find any rust if it's spent it's life in NM.

Yeah Kwick, that's what I thought. A few dings and scratches, but ball joints were done 20K miles ago, a small grind going from 1st to 2nd, but if you let the rpm drop between gears it shifted nice and smooth. Had a little vibration when braking, but that's typical, that's why I put the ART cryo slotted rotors on my other truck. The guy gave me the shop's name where the engine was rebuilt and told me to call him, he still brings it in there for service once in a while. I kind of got shot down from the wife. she wants something nicer. I mean the interior on this was every bit as good as my old truck with only 85K miles. I told her when all this happened I was going to find a beater truck with the 7.3 that no one would even take a second look at and not worry about how it looked. When it came down to it and I told her about this truck it was like this

re
That is funny about the wife. Been there before.
. Are you trying to sell the bed camper? Might want to get that sold first. What kind of camper are you looking at? That would make a difference on what truck you would want to get. Try looking on autotrader and vehix as well. I would not buy one off of eBay w/o looking at it first but that is just me.

OK guys look at this
*****2001 Ford F-350 Crewcab*****
I just talked to the guy, says its absolutely flawless. He works for Parker RV and Marine and does all the diesel service. Says he bought this truck a few months ago from his rich buddy who basically used it to tow his jet skis to the lake. All leather, heated seats, manual transfercase shift, no ESOF, back up sensors, the whole deal. Brand new tires one month ago.
Here is the VIN if Ed is around can you run it for me? I know its a big chunk of money, but the miles might make it worth it.

If that 2001 is an automatic check out this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...l-diode-s.html
I have seen better deals here locally. Did you ever go look at the truck in Moriaty?

Yes I did look at the truck in Moriarty. Decent truck, but sooooo many miles. He said he had the engine and trans rebuilt about 90K ago, but that requires a lot of trust on my part, too much. I'll get the build date on this tranny and see how it matches up. Thanks for the info.
