Considering Selling my 2002 F250 7.3 with 80,000 miles

In all seriousness how many people attempt or actually do trade firewood. I do.

I did a few years back when we bought some property.

The crew cab (4 full doors) / 6-speed manual / 4x4 trucks are the ones that are the most valuable. Sold mine to someone who wanted it more than I did, was a solid truck but salt and slush don't help up here. The bodies rot out long before the powertrain gives up.

I was in the market for a used vehicle last year and noticed a whole lot of Canadian vehicles that were resprayed on the underside to cover up rust. I was surprised at how many came from up there, they must have been shipping them in from auctions. Many people here do not bother to look for that since we don’t have road salt on the lowlands and they are not thinking of it.

Terry, "OBS" older body style?
That was my favorite "sheet metal" Ford ever had, a classic!
Always wanted a reg cab 8' box F350 4x4 psd/stick in the barn as a forever keeper.
I went through a 94 & 97 but both were CC's, not as "classic" as a regular cab, at least to me so I let them go.
I think a nice (new) 97 truck like that was around $26k new. What would that truck be worth today to a collector with 40k on the clock today?

OBS = Old Body Style it goes from 80-97. 80-86 = bullnose 97-91 = bricknose 92-97 areonose

something like this, though this is a 250 with a Dana 60 swap





I remember seeing a 97 reg cab 4x4 PSD/5 speed on ebay 10 ish year ago 20K miles and the ad said he wouldn't sell it for less than $20K bidding got up to 12 and change. I thought he was nuts, if I it were for sale today I would pay $20K for it. Like someone else mentioned crew cabs and manual transmissions and you can more or less name your price, but clean Reg cabs are listed on ebay all the time for $22K and up

I replaced the box on mine, it was SWISS cheese. That what happens in salt country. Rockers and front fenders got work too. Old box had a piece of wood in place of the front cross rail since it was gone. New box was from Texas, I couldn't believe how nice it was, amazing the difference...

I traded $300 and a cord of firewood for my Wangler.

It's probably mostly rust by weight, but makes a good poor-man's UTV.

That was a d@mn good deal... I'm soft on jeeps, cut my teeth on them back in highschool... Had a bunch of CJ's back then... about a dozen!
