been looking for a new old work truck. I'm gonna have to take my 85 chevy 4wd off the road until I find time to replace a crossmember and cut out and weld a couple rusty places in the frame. looked at several trucks from late 90's thru 2006 and the frames were far more rusted than my old 85. found a 1986 f250 in North Carolina its a heavy duty thing... 6,9 diesel,4 speed,4wd,16 inch steel wheels w/10 ply tires,heavy springs,etc. its been worked but looks to have been well maintained and not abused. The interior is pretty nice and the best part it has no rust to speak of. The guy has receipts for all the work hes had done to it also. He wants 3500.00 for it. I like the fact it hasn't been rigged up with mag wheels sunroofs fat tires no little bitty steering wheel and all that other crap everyone seems to do to older trucks.I know the idi diesels are a little slow but are quite reliable. Just looking for thoughts or comments about these model trucks before I go and buy it. thanks,Mike
