I still have my 85 F250 4WD with the 6.9 diesel, as well as a 94 F250 4WD with the 7.3 turbo (early IDI engine - NOT Powerstroke). 180,000 miles on the 85 and 280,000 on the 94. No major problems, ever, with either of them - but they are well maintained. No drivebelt problems, transfer case problems, glow plug problems, etc. The 85 has V-belts, and the 94 has one sepentine.
Only bad thing I've got to say about either is fuel mileage. They are not near as good as my 92 Dodge W250 with the Cummins 5.9 diesel.
If the truck sounds and runs good, and no one has been using ether to start it, it's probably a good buy if priced right.
In regard to running with WVO anything with a Stanadyne/Roosmaster rotary pump is the worst possible choice. A diesel with an inline pump can handle it much better. With trucks, the only choice is a Dodge-Cummins 5.9, 93 and newer for a few years. 92 has a CAV rotary.

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
