New (to me!) Truck - How'd I do?

Ok guys, just picked up a new truck. The F150 will be making a quick exit now that I have this beast. It is a 1995 F250 4x4 XLT 7.3L / ZF-5 with 4.10s. (C5 axle code) It has a new clutch, new Monroe gas shocks, new radiator, new fan, new turbo base, new fuel pump, and new brake master cylinder. The engine is one of the cleanest I've ever seen on a truck, new or old. No leaks and no dirt. Turns over immediately and runs well. It has 201,000 miles, with almost zero towing after the first 50,000 which occurred 10 years ago. I paid $5500 for it. How did I do?

There are no Cali models in 95, late 96 was the first that a Cali truck was any different from a 49 state model.
Fordmarshall that sounds like a pretty fair deal. The truck I'm driving actually came from the San Jose area a few weeks ago. Mine only had 147k miles on it when I bought it and was a 1 owner rig.

Oh yeah, I knew that. It was early, not paying close enough attention I guess.
