as far as price goes i think it depends on your area, but i do know i just looked at this truck online the other day for example for prices around here http://youngstown.craigslist.org/cto/2597369832.html
This is what I want (also a wife who can drive 5speed) http://columbus.craigslist.org/ctd/2555381780.html Or this one Currently I drive a slightly modified Volkswagen jetta that I'm just too big for (I'm 6'3) it was a good econo box but I want a truck like this: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2546650988.html
I wanted to send the owner a message asking if he/she wanted to trade for my vw but I can't afford diesel costs currently and it won't fit at my apartment complex :'(
you'll love the 7.3/5spd...the shop I used to work at had a 99ish F250 scab swb 2wd withe the 7.3/5spd and I loved it my DES is flairing up again just thinking about that truck
true...it wasnt a purdy truck at all (same body style as yours only supercab swb and 2wd XL trim) but I loved it enough that I would rock it any day of the week
