    Saw this 1996 F-350 XL 1 Ton Dually for $2,500 and wondering if it's a good deal. 5.8L engine four-speed manual with overdrive 188,000 miles.

    Turn signals do not work, windshield needs to be replaced, wind-wing window on passenger side needs glass, and front end twin I beam suspension... Steering seems loose, no noise, but steering wheel needs constant left-right adjustments to keep it running straight .

    vehicle has good cold AC and heat, huge service/utility bed.

    Engine pulls strong and the transmission shifts smoothly brakes are good headlights work tail lights work just no turn signals, I'm thinking that might be a fuse or something because all four do not work.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...engine type model longevity, steering issue fixes, turn signals repair.

    Thanks for your help, recommendations, and advice, in advance.

    Low miles considering its a 96. the steering issue is pretty standard for any vehicle with 188k on it but nothing serious. probably under a grand to have everything replaced. The only thing about the twin ibeam set up is no one really makes anything for it. 2500 is a steal. Im wondering what else may be wrong with it
