Looks pretty nice for a 99 model - sure didn't come from new York state or any other state that uses road salt in the winter time.
 
Would be a pretty valuable truck, except
it's 2wd, a dually, and a manual. Only
good for pulling travel trailers on paved
roads, and who wants to do that with a
stick? Diesel 2wd dually will get stuck on damp
grass, too nose heavy.
 
That truck in a 4 wheel drive is a hot seller but two wheel takes a on the road guy, like the other
poster it is nose heavy, never less sure is a clean truck for the age. Be interesting to see just
what it will bring.
 

No just wondering the value. It belonged to this gals grandpa she just brought it for 10K. The old man said he could not handle the shifting anymore. They are work to drive : (
 
My last pickup was almost an exact twin to 4520BW's F350 he posted the picture of, except mine was F250 & 5-
speed 7.3L PSD, same Alcoa wheels, red paint and as much chrome as I could get. I ran the miles up around
320,000 and decided it needed too much work and SON wanted a truck after he traded off his 2014 RAM 2500
Cummins.
I test drove a new body style with the ZF 6-speed, only way I'd want one is if I was towing heavy ALL
the time. I had 3.55 gears and towed my Dad's '51 M home, grossed around 20,000# truck, trailer & tractor and
I could run right up to 65 mph pretty easy with my stock truck.
Those mid & late 1990's Ford pickups were some of the best ever made, but even with mine being Auto Armor
rust-proofed it had WAY too many Wisconsin winter road miles and is showing it.
On the flip side, I REALLY like my 2018 RAM 1500 quad cab with the 5.7L Hemi. It's the same bright red
with lots of chrome.

Just with inflation, that truck would be $66,900.

And if traded in at a Ford dealership, I bet they would price it at that much too.
Especially a year to 18 months ago.

Unless a Carfax shows it to be a lemon.
