    So I though I was going to get an 03 f-250 and stumbled across a 05 f-350 super cab srw with 83k miles, v-10, 4x4, 10' mm plow. I'm not a vehicle man at al but went and looked at this truck. Has some typical rust issues with the biggest being the cross members on the bed. It also needs a manifold gasket and or bolt fixed on the drivers side. With all that said I got the guy down to 10,500.00 seams like a good deal compared to everything else I've seen on the market. Any idea how difficult/expensive it is to get the manifold issue fixed and best recommendation for the cross members?

    That seems close. Whats the details on it? XL, XLT, Lariat? 8ft bed? Auto/Stick?

    A basic XLT in Fair condition is $15k on KBB.
