I took you guys' advice and passed on the chevy 6.5 diesel. I have found another truck. It is a 1997 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed with 5-speed manual. The mileage is 165k and asking $8000. What is the pros and cons of this truck?
Thanks
Chris
 
I've been wanting one of those trucks for a really long time as a tow rig. the only thing I can think of that I've seen wrong with them is something about the injectors or glow plugs after so many miles...they go out...whatever it is it's like $2500 to fix. evidently it's a pretty common problem because my cousin warned me about it and I know of at least 3 or 4 other people who have said the same thing. they have great power though :)
 
there is a f350 PSD old body style crew cab 2wd Dually Just west of Fuquay varina on NC 42 for sale for 7500

Justa FYI
 
IF that 5 spd is the ZF trans, and has a the dual mass flywheel, it's nearly a grand in parts to replace the clutch. so make sure it's in good shape.
